How are recommendations chosen?
When opening my Home page in the Kindle Store I get a prominent set of suggested titles. At a glance these appear to be simply books by authors I've already read or sampled (including some I've already bought and read!), with no further refinement. In particular, no account appears to have been made for samples that have been rejected, i.e. not subsequently bought.

Is there really no more intelligent analysis used by Amazon to create this nicely presented and potentially useful list please?
