The idea seems novel. But without the filter I am left at the mercy of the system to guess what is good. Btw what is the default setting ?

In the WordNik API i am ensuring the word has a dictionary defintion.

Then i am searching Amazon using the "All" category. When the results come back i am filtering out "books" and "ebooks", and then from whatever is left i show the first product.

So at the moment its just an open slather.
