Chocolat author Joanne Harris blasted the app, saying what starts out with blanking out a few words ends with 'burning libraries'

As one person bluntly put, it is f****** horrifying.

An app that blanks out swear words in e-books has prompted outrage among writers including Chocolat author Joanne Harris, who have accused it of censoring their work without permission.

Last night Mrs Harris, 50, took to her blog to write a scathing critique of the Clean Reader application which has been designed to help parents protect their children from explicit content.

HONG KONG

Book publishers are decrying a rise in censorship in Hong Kong, saying book stores are returning books tied to authors who have been involved in the pro-democracy protests.

In recent weeks, authors and publishers say censorship is growing in Hong Kong, with bookstores under increasing pressure to edit their selection of books so that they do not offend the central government in Chinas mainland.

The editor-in-chief of Up Publications, Carmen Kwong Wing-suen, said her company had hundreds of books returned by Sino United Publishing through its subsidiaries Joint Publishing, Chung Hwa Book and Commercial Press.

We are just a tiny little publishing house. We have no bargaining power to do anything," she said.

Rising trend

Kwong said a publication she co-wrote on the Occupy Protests had received orders for only 28 copies instead of the normal practice of 200 copies. She said most of the books recently rejected by the publisher were not on political topics.

Former reporter Bruce Lui Ping-kuen, now a professor of journalism at Baptist University, said the rejection of books by publishers sympathetic to the pro-democracy movement is part of an increasing trend of censorship in the city.

I think looking at the book censorship case in a way its a reflection of the differences between censorship in Hong Kong and the censorship we have under one country two systems," he said.

"Because they cannot censor books and the media directly. There is no censorship system because we are under one country, two systems. And so they have to find creative ways to limit or stop voices that are hostile to the Communist Party.
