Amazon Follow-Up

The word on the internets is that Amazon is blaming a "glitch" for yesterday's furor over books with feminist and GLBT content losing their sales ranks. Interestingly, the glitch seems to have been ongoing since February. The other word on the internets, of course, is #glitchmyass.

Anyway, this is my little contribution to letting Amazon know how pissed off I am. I'm canceling my associate's ID and linking to WorldCat.org for book reviews and further info from now on. The extra bonus, besides not having to sign into Amazon all the time, is that WorldCat.org shows you local libraries that own the book you're looking at, and I think I'd rather support libraries than Amazon.
