Amazon doing their job, kinda…

So I get this email from Amazon, offering me a selection of books I might be interested in.

20120912 211742 Amazon doing their job, kinda...

You know what, Amazon? I am quite interested in that book. But not as a reader. Because I wrote it!

Still, at least Amazon are doing a good job. Kinda.

    They’re doing it wrong.

    At least they’re not sending you notices for books someone plagiarized from you.

    I’m wondering if they deliberately recommend people their own books. My book was recommended to me and I know someone else who had the same thing happen.

    What are the odds, that out of the millions of books available on Amazon, that many people get their on stuff sent to them?

    Interesting. The question then becomes: Why?

    So people think that amazon is giving them a helping hand…

    All I know is that I didn’t see any increase in sales afterwards. :(
