What's the difference between books and any other kind of speech? Books have an emotional quality to them.
It's why the Left was able to mobilize so much opposition by accusing school boards and parents of trying to "Ban books" by keeping pornographic books out of schools.
Still every prior form of political censorship was defended by leftists, why not go after books on Amazon?
Tyler O'Neil at the Daily Signal reports that the Biden team saw no apparent difference between targeting books on Amazon and any other forms of social media censorship that it was pushing.
In one email produced through a House Judiciary Committee subopena had an Amazon employee asking, "Is the [Biden] Admin asking us to remove books"?
After the March 9 meeting at the White House, Amazon staff strategized how to respond to a negative story that Buzzfeed would publish discussing "COVID-19 related books for sale on Amazon." Staff noted that they were "Feeling pressure from the White House Taskforce" on the issue of books "Related to vaccine misinformation."
In this discussion, a staffer noted that "We did enable Do Not Promote for anti-vax books whose primary purpose is to persuade readers vaccines are unsafe or ineffective on 3/9, and will review additional handling options for these books with you, [redacted], and [redacted] on 3/19."
