This isn't a "book ban." It's a private business making an ethical decision about what it wants to profit from. They're not preventing people from reading her work, they even encourage people to buy used copies locally. That's not censorship or banning. It's curation, which is something bookstores have done forever.
Banning books is when governments remove books from public schools and libraries to suppress ideas, something right-wing lawmakers are actively doing across the country today (something you're silent on), especially with LGBTQ+ and racial justice topics. That's the actual threat to freedom of thought. What that bookstore is doing is a simple boycott. It's protest. And protest is also free speech.
Rowling is a fukking bigot who's using her global platform, millions of followers, and full access to mainstream media to push harmful ideas, and is funding efforts to strip trans people of their rights. People and businesses are allowed to respond.
Choosing not to carry her books isn't "intolerant." It's a moral stance from people whose own lives are directly affected by the rhetoric and policy her views are helping to shape. Something you wouldn't understand.

Dude thought he was being self-aware, but what he really said was, "I know others will suffer before me, and I'm fine with that." That kind of passive racism is no better than the loud, out-and-proud kind, which he engages in too.when he actually does something that negatively affects my life
being white, i have the luxury of that probably coming later than it will for other people. but since the question is posed
