>"the UI is utterly wretched"

Aesthetically perhaps, but it seems very well designed in terms of making purchasing painless, which is part of the reason Amazon do so well.

I do try to avoid buying things on Amazon now though, they've gotten too big, it's a little scary how much influence they have on online retail.




You can purchase ever so easily, determining the what you are purchasing is not. The product descriptions and specs have been lacking since inception.


But the reviews remain highly reliable in many cases. Fakespot and other services have popped up to address the gaming aspect of reviews.
