But there seems to be a trust issue with Amazon: Too many people afraid that authors using sock puppets (and their buddies) are loading positive reviews, and other sock puppet authors are loading negative reviews. And, of course, a few reviews (2-4) on an item are generally counted as worthless. When I check out a product, I more often try to check reviews on other sites than Amazon's reviews.
