Pornographic ebooks remain for sale on Amazon despite a backlash over inappropriate titles stocked by leading booksellers.

Customers using searches such as "Daddy" on the online retailer can be led to Kindle books featuring rape, incest and "forced sex", alongside titles for children.

WHSmith today apologised and shut down its website after similar books featured on their site, while "erotic" titles are also available to buy online from Waterstones.
