  • Amazon is now quoting Goodreads ratings on their website

    From Lynn McGuire@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jun 1 16:09:54 2023
    Interesting, Amazon is now quoting Goodreads ratings on their website.
    Looks to me that Amazon people rate books about 0.5 star higher than the Goodreads raters.

    Goodreads is an Amazon subsidiary.

    That is a hoot. I wonder why Amazon does not post the corresponding
    Goodreads URL then ?
