I know you're right teh603 but I find this fact discouraging. I've been an Amazon customer since about the beginning and I've generally felt I could trust their product suggestions. I've used several makes and models of covers and book lights over the years and I like m-Edge's Go Jackets and book lights the best, especially with this new generation of touch screen book readers.

Now to find out Amazon is using the Walmart model to squeeze manufacturers explains why buying from Amazon has been an unsatisfying experience lately. It used to be easy to research on Amazon. This makes me wonder what other products Amazon has guided me to and whether the products for sale there will begin to be inferior quality the way the Walmart stock has gone. If I can't trust them to be honest about products then I've lost a useful resource.
