How exactly is it unfortunate or offensive?
As HarryT points out, there is a good reason for it.
More importantly, what harm does it cause,
besides for getting people to reread the book? Is this another one of those "Amazon is evil, just, you know,
because" things? All the librarians
I know seem to be under the rather stupid delusion that the important thing is to get people to read more. (Silly them, don't they realize it's far more important to protect literature from the degradation of being associated with money-grubbers from a South American river?)
Which is what Amazon excels at. Because it involves selling people stuff.
