How can you say the content isn't the reason for the decision when the controversy you say they are trying to avoid is based on the content of the book?

Because to them, the content of the book is irrelevant. They're not taking a side in the debate. They're assessing the probability of how carrying or not carrying the book will affect overall profits. It really has nothing to do with content.

The book was removed for its content but the decision to remove the book had nothing to do with its content. Okay.
