Doing research on an indie author (we're building work use cases). Search Amazon for author name + title. Get *5* unrelated "Sponsored" results before the one I wanted. Yikes.

I’ve given up on amazon for books. I head straight to http://isbn.nu/ nowadays. The search isn’t as good, but the results aren’t obfuscated, either.

Part of the reason for this particular application is helping this author build a tool (using our app) to monitor what the various book sellers are doing with their product pages. So Amazon is, unfortunately, the point here.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
