Happily, Amazon thinks nothing about me because it doesn’t know me ( I’ve seen what Amazon thinks about me – and it revealed a depressing truth, 11 October ). I’ve boycotted Amazon for as long as I can remember, and I can promise anybody thinking of taking this step that your life will be richer without it. So, Emma Beddington, please take that step, boycott Amazon – it’s the single most powerful ethical step you can take, and it’s surprisingly easy. Prof Mark Doel Sheffield
