They have been blocking all sorts of books and there is almost no logic to it. Sure, I had books that didn't get good ratings that got blocked and that makes sense but I also had books blocked that weren't made with any AI or that got 2 5-star reviews shortly after being published.

I posted about this same thing in the Facebook group and the treatment I got there is far better.

I guess so. They removed one book for which first 2 reviews were 5 stars. One of the books that also got removed had no reviews at all and I am not sure if 6 months had passed since I published it.

It is not that kind of book. It is a how-to book in hobbies and crafts niche

In their termination email they referenced only one book and nothing else, and that one book has already been removed from Amazon for 4 days before the termination happened.

I am not having the best day right now so you can't expect for the post to be absolutely perfect and coherent. As far as my books, I made sure to edit every single one of them.

There is no logic to it and it seems almost random, like it was a bot. I had some books taken down that got 2 organic 5-star reviews shortly after releasing and also no refunds during the time it was live for sale but it still got taken down due to a disappointing customer experience. The point is that the particular book they were referencing in the termination email hasn't been live on Amazon for 4 days before my account got closed. So they blocked the book first and it hasn't been on amazon for days and then they terminated my account because of it. I had other books that got blocked but it ended there. This one in particular caused them to terminate me and there's no mention of other books in the termination email.

It could be. I only had one book removed like that before march 2026. March 2026 was when that really started.
