This domain name used to belong to a small book swapping site. Then it was acquired by ***** for the purpose of an astroturf campaign (i.e., fake grassroots) against the publisher Hachette. This site is part of Amazon's effort to turn this business dispute into a "cause." I agree that this site makes false claims and uses deceptive rhetoric. I also find it objectionable that Amazon has left this site unchanged even after agreeing to terms with Hachette in November 2014. But that's Amazon for you: petty, treacherous, and punitive. For example, according to The Verge (3-27-2015), Amazon even forces warehouse workers to sign 18-month "non-compete" contracts for jobs that last as little as 3 months. (The policy was changed after negative publicity.)

This site is Amazon related. Apart from any opinion on the Amazon-Hachette querelle, the site is not a scam, is safe and is legal. A negative rating is not justified. The other ratings who are based only on personal opinions should be considered unreliable.

This website has no privacy policy. The website's apparent sole intent is to defame a smaller competitor. The website is named "readers united" yet it is not a coalition of private individuals, i.e. consumers who love books. Rather, it is part of Amazon's corporate marketing. It is unethical and deceptive to obfuscate that factual reality.
