I actually thought your original post was simply a bit of tongue-in-cheek rabble rousing, trying to spark up a bit of conversation (that much worked). But you actually seem to believe that an arbitrary change to the dictionary (based on the fact that you don't like the current meaning) is somehow a realistic thing to consider. And then you have the temerity to accuse those that disagree with you of only doing so because they have a vested interest.
Of course that's not an unusual way to argue when there's nowhere else to go. If, instead, you altered your argument to what I suspect you really mean - that resellers should segregate books based on someone's decision as to whether the book is worth buying - then at least you would be arguing from a position with some basis in reality. And guess what. It already happens. Go to Amazon and check out their bestseller lists. So Amazon already segregates books according to what their customers think is worth buying. If you don't like it, talk to Amazon.
