Amazon Needs to Clean Up Its Act

The visuals and interface of Amazon's books site have deteriorated over the years to the point that now it is a virtual eyesore.  It has all the merchandising focus and class of an open air Middle Eastern bazaar, replete with hawkers, bargain merchants, deal makers and book pimps. Anyone seriously searching for a title or author is assaulted by a confusing hullabaloo of slashed prices, used copies, special offers, ads for unrelated items, vacuous reader commentary, obtuse off-the-mark recommendations, and other flotsam and jetsam ad nauseum.

It is an affront to readers' sensibilities.

So, please Amazon, de-clutterize! Hire a feng shui expert!  Defenestrate! Pick up the trash and take out the garbage!
