Amazon changed what it shows for book reviews. Below a review asks whether or not the reader found the review helpful or not. The writer of the review could see how many people found the review helpful and how many did not. For example, it would say 6 people out of 10 found this review helpful, implying 4 did not. Now Amazon only shows how many people found it helpful, making how many did not unavailable.
I don't know why the change was made. I expect the folks at Amazon decided too many people checked 'did not' and they believed the lower star ratings made by the reviewers was enough to discourage purchases.
