I go to take a little nap and I wake up to AMAZON IS MORE EVIL THAN EVER. What? Seems everything's just... exploded.
Why does it matter if sales ranks are visible? I get that keeping sales ranks on some books while deleting them from others on dubious grounds is uncool, but why does it matter? What do they do, exactly? How does that keep books from being searched up? What're the odds that they'll make a hasty public apology within the next week and hope everything blows over?
Edit: It's now hit the LA Times.
