"WHSmith shop front WH Smith said it was "disgusted" by the pornographic e-books on its site
WH Smith has taken its UK site completely offline until all abuse-themed e-books are removed from its product listings.
The move comes after last week's revelations that Amazon, WH Smith, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers were selling pornographic e-books featuring incest, rape and bestiality on their sites."
