Amazon Removes Category Strings From Book Listings - The Digital Reader

A cat's work is never finished.

Panzer was cleaning out the Panzermobile today when our fastidious kitty boy found a wadded up post under the passenger seat cushion. Flattening it out he discovered it was a post from The Digital Reader site about Amazon.

According to The Digital Reader site owner Nate Hoffelder, Amazon has made a change to how book categories are displayed in the listings. A long string of categories is no longer displayed for a book. Instead, only the main category is shown. This makes for an easier to read "Product details" description. A sample book listing is included in the post to show what the new category listing looks like.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... We used those category strings on books similar to mine for help in putting my books in the right categories."

Note: This is a short post. Bring half a cup of tea for today's reading selection.
