It won’t get 4 stars even 
If Newton's Principia were published today, it would have 4 stars on Amazon. There would be one cluster of 5 star reviews by people saying it had revolutionized their thinking, and another cluster of 1 star reviews by people complaining it was pointless and hard to read.

And a slew of 2 star reviews complaining about the formatting on Kindle.

A whole other bunch giving 1 star because the post office lost their copy.

Plato would have difficulty finding a publisher willing to pay for the translation from Ancient Greek.

I do not know if the book will sell well, but books providing explanation about Newton's book will probably be well sold

Would be something to have such reviews on it though. Imagine reviews of a book since it’s publication until http://Date.now . Throughout different periods. Collected by some body. Weird.

Probably also a cluster of negative reviews saying that you can't trust anything Newton says because he's the master of the Royal Mint and clearly the Principia is part of a conspiracy to pass debased currency. :-(

funny, though Newton as Master of the Mint was enthusiastic about hunting down counterfeiters, who were often sentenced to death. So perhaps the Principia would be negatively reviewed as part of the continued oppression of the masses by the rich and royal.
