I wonder whether that is a page layout/navigation issue, instead of
wording.

I have been using Amazon.com for a long time and never paid much
attention to the list of similar items. But recently when I played
with Amazon's XML/SOAP web service by having my own page layout and
navigation as a front end to Amazon, I found its list of "similar
items" much more interesting.
