article_snippet: Writing in a subsequent post after it was announced the titles were being removed from the app, Chocolat author, Joanne Harris added: 'Though I’m delighted that Clean Reader are no longer selling vandalized books, vandalized books are still distributing the app, and although this is certainly a victory for books, I wouldn’t start cheering just yet.'
