I see that also. A lot of people I interact with left Goodread when Amazon bought it. And I do not find many people at all that are not critical of Amazon's behaviour.
Also we saw in another thread that a lot of people that write a lot in defence of Amazon is politically motivated (some kind of libertarianism or similar). The goal seems to be to not interfere in choice even if it leads to no more good books being written. Low price seems also always to be more important than good books being produced.
