I don't get what the big deal is.

The award clearly said "...So Far" which obviously implies that it could be temporary, depending on whether or not a better book comes out. It did, so her's is not the best any more. So what?

I'm sorry, but the title of this thread is very misleading. I thought this was going to be another National Book Awards, instead it turned out to be Amazon doing precisely what they implied they would.
