I just posted a rebuttal to a post on the clunky Amazon Kindle forum that speculated that:

"My guess (also with zero evidence) is that Amazon added this feature to try and collect meaningful data about demand for Kindle books. But then certain people in this forum got together, created wish lists, and had everyone start clicking on everyone else's books, even though they didn't actually personally want to read the books. This irresponsible "ballot stuffing" made the data useless, so Amazon has abandoned it."

Another case of opening mouth (or is it keyboard?) and opining without any evidence. "Irresponsible 'ballot box stuffing' " Bullpucky! Long live the clicky list(s). ĦArriba los amantes del libros! To the barricades,mes amis! (Apologies to Zelda)
