I started work on using this CSV to analyze my purchases (https://observablehq.com/@bradydowling/amazon-purchase-analy...) and found out how much better this data could be if Amazon was even slightly custom centric.

For example, why don’t I see MY product ratings? Analyzing which of my purchases were “good” purchases would help me spend properly in the future. Plenty of other data that Amazon has that they won’t give me in this report.

PS reach out if you’re interested in helping my take this to completion. I was going to make a YouTube video about it as well so I’d love any collaboration



Why does Amazon serve me ads on the Kindle for books I already bought from Amazon that are currently loaded on that Kindle? Sometimes it is mystifying how many opportunities to better serve their customers and shareholders they leave on the table. I guess it comes down to priorities.
