I see a bad moon rising

This is appalling. And infuriating. And Not Okay.

(My books have not been stripped of their sales rankings--I just went and looked. But clearly they should be.)

ETA: Smart Bitches, Trashy Books FTW: Amazon Rank.

ETA2: Nicola Griffith, who is seriously one of the most awesome sf writers I've ever had the chance to fangirl in person, is among the authors affected. If there was anything needed to make me angrier (which there wasn't), this would have been it.

In the letter to Amazon I am presently honing I am giving high visibility to two things I intend to do to register my disapproval.

1) Shop online for books elsewhere and name the store.

2) Specifically declare my intention to drop the Kindle from my current pre-purchase research for an e-book reader and urge my friends and relations to do the same.
