How do you run your reports? Amazon’s website used the report the exact number of items in a category. Now it just reports item count exceeds some arbitrary limit (like LinkedIn saying someone has more than 500 friends. 🙂
This used to have text like so: “1-24 of 1,700,001 results for Office Products : Office & School Supplies”. Now it says “1-24 of over 60,000 results for Office Products : Office & School Supplies”
Amazon probably figured keeping the numbers internal is a competitive advantage.
Will you still be able to obtain the data to run your reports?

Yes, that is key information that is needed. I would like to be able to find this information of total items for each category. Anyone know how to attain this info?
