What purpose do book bans serve when those same books can be bought off Amazon?

Do not underestimate the accessibility difference between free and $5
There is no total book ban. It is just removal from publicly free access via libraries.
That isn't really a new thing. Books deemed inappropriate or dangerous have always been kept out of public and school libraries. The argument is really about what constitutes inappropriate and dangerous material versus what is being kept out of libraries as a way to reduce exposure to ideas as a means of cultural erasure and ostracization.

@ViciDraco in some places, a bookstore can be fined for selling a banned book.
