when i posted my musing on the benefit of free books to amazon, i had the free classics in mind. but the freebies offered by the publishers probably give amazon more information about our reading tastes.
but amazon also knows which books among our amazon downloads we are actually *reading*. so now i'm thinking they might be learning more about my own tastes from what i download but don't read, than they would learn from my downloads alone.
this doesn't particularly bother me either. it does interest me, though.
