"Following a lot of negative media coverage regarding unregulated publishing of indecent material, ereader manufacturer Kobo has announced it is shutting down its self-publishing platform as it continues to investigate the problem.
The problem was first highlighted by technology news website The Kernel, with its report focusing on the presence of large amounts of indecent material on Amazon's Kindle platform.
The investigation showed amateur ebook titles such as Daddy Daughter Sex Stories and Forced To F**k Daddy In Diapers were available to buy from Amazon, however it later emerged that pornographic ebooks were also available to buy online through WH Smith, Waterstones and Barnes and Noble.
WH Smith's online ebook portal is provided by Kobo, the Canadian ereader manufacturer which is owned by Japanese conglomerate Ratuken."
