Many is the time that I’ve gone to Amazon’s site, clicked on a genre and spent 30 mins working through the top 100 list, which remains fairly static, and wondering where do I go from here. It’s all rather frustrating when Amazon trumpets 15,000 books in some genre but there’s means or mechanism to get at them, no way to dive into the middle of them all and just “browse about”.
As a weekend hobby I’ve been toying around with some way to “deep browse” Amazon book offerings. http://goo.gl/tPPJz http://goo.gl/tPPJz I’m very interested in any thoughts on how this is best done. Are carefully curated recommendations by a select and passionate few the right way to go? The current set social book sites seem focus on the “hits” being read by the “masses”. But the deep long tail isn’t being addressed. But how?
