Amazon.com author interviews
  (+3)
(+3) 		  [vote for,

This morning I saw a podcast with the author of a newly released book. The podcast created a tipping point effect and I went to the amazon.com and bought the book. After making the purchase I realized the book had no reviews (yet). Had I come looking for the book and seen no reviews I would never have bought it. So here is the idea: amazon.com should have author interviews and post them on their site, this adds another dimension to the buying experience and my hunch is it will boost sales.

Authors can do this too.

       [ldischler] so an author makes a video where he/she asks and answers their own questions? I don't think my idea suggests that approach.

       Looks like you can do whatever you want. Get an interviewer; they're not stopping you.

       Yeah, Amazon makes it very easy for authors to promote their books.
