DHAKA: Retailer Amazon has removed several abuse-themed e-books from its Kindle Store after a report highlighted titles depicting rape, incest and bestiality.

Titles such as Taking My Drunk Daughter had been on sale.

Amazon took down the books found by technology news site The Kernel, but many others still remain.

Other online stores, including WHSmith, Kobo and Barnes & Noble featured books with similar themes. They are yet to respond to requests for comment.

The BBC found that on Amazon`s store, the search function automatically suggested explicit topics to users typing seemingly innocuous keywords - without age verification taking place.

Amazon has not responded to the BBC`s request for comment on the issue, except to confirm that the specific books listed by The Kernel had been removed.
