Tracy: you're assuming Amazon has anything more to do with it than Google had to do with the temporary disappearance of a connection between the Mass Pike and 128 a few years ago. Both are crowdsourced, with Amazon probably being if anything less mediated;
the review you quote could be a prank, or somebody being careless about which window they posted in.</div>

OTOH, I don't think Amazon was <b>ever</b> about quality or efficiency, or anything else other than the benjamins.<br>

Once upon a time Amazon was about quality and efficiency. Now, Amazon <br>
delivery trucks seem to be taking over the roads as Amazon greed <br>
prevails. Meanwhile Amazon book pages continue to be completely <br>
unreliable in regard to reader reviews. Check out this one for the <br>
paperback, The King of Elfland's Daughter:<br>
<br>
"5.0 out of 5 stars Nonstop action.<br>
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2023<br>
Realistic and raw. Believable. Bruce Steele is the new Rambo. Hot shot <br>
pilot saves the veep and gets the girl."<br>
<br>
I simply can't grasp their degree of incompetence in including this as a <br>
review of a Lord Dunsany elfland novel.<br>
