Amazon reviews and ratings are still useful signal if you know how to interpret:
1. Anything less than 4.6 is probably junk.
2. Ignore the 4-5 star reviews, only read the 1-3 star reviews
3. Really read them.
4. A good product will still generally have 2-3% of reviews at 1 star. Less than 2% is a red flag, more than 4% is also a red flag.

- Ntrails 4y agoThere's still "free" delivery, but honestly I've tried to move away from it entirely. I don't succeed entirely, but I always try to find another seller I'd rather support
- alexfoo 4y agoThe irony is you can now read the reviews on Amazon and make up your mind if you want to but it, and then go buy it from somewhere else even, quelle horreur, a local bricks and mortar bookshop.
- JohnFen 4y agoI think the reviews on Amazon are worse than worthless. I wouldn't read them to help make my mind up about any purchase.
