I was just checking my current book, and noticed the also-bought slider completely missing (again), which explains why things have flattened out a bit lately.
In it's place, is "Top trending products related to this item"
4 pages of PAPERBACKS, and the only one not a paperback was a Hardcover.
Serious WTF Amazon?????
Whose seriously demented mind thought up replacing the also-bought slider with a list of paperbacks, when the person viewing hasn't bought one in 5 years?
Do they seriously expect me to suddenly buy paperbacks just because they stick them in my face?
Let's ignore for the moment that every single book on those sliders was something I'd never in a million years buy as an eBook, let alone as paper.
Someone at Amazon has obviously had the sort of great idea which should have been shot down and buried the moment it was uttered. Instead, someone actually did it, and thus demonstrated how out of touch with reality Amazon is these days.
I know someone there hates the also-bought slider, and is always thinking up ways of replacing it, but the reality is, the also-bought slider is the only decent place to find what you actually like reading.
Replacing the also-bought slider with ads of any kind, especially for paperbacks, is just INSANE.
ETA: All normal on my Aus page, so at least I can still also-bought browse.
