It has earned Amazon more than $1 billion from US households, newly unredacted portions of the suit allege.
Public revelationsThe complaint’s newly unsealed portions, filed Thursday in Seattle federal court, uncover a wide range of previously non-public allegations.
More than 70% of Amazon shoppers do not click past the first page of search results, according to the unsealed complaint.
In another situation, Amazon allegedly took steps to promote its own, proprietary products — such as the Amazon Kindle tablet — as having been recommended by expert reviewers when the Amazon products had not earned such a recommendation.
If the Amazon price went up, the competing retailers would increase their prices as well, according to the complaint.
