Well, I did a little experiment--just for you SF&F. I went into my recommendations scrubber on kobobooks.com and eliminated all of the books there by choosing already read or not interested. I closed my browser, opened it up again, and saw that I no longer had the recommendation scrubber.
Then I set the carousel at the bottom to shortlist and started a sync. When I went back to recommended, the only book that appeared there was one that I had clicked on earlier that actually was already in my library. I bet that if I had not done that, I would not have had anything at all.
What I don't know is how often the recommendations engine repopulates with new choices.
More info: So, I deleted the book from my reader and it deleted from the recommended carousel as well. After that, I no longer had a recommended choice in carousel. I then went to Purchased in the library on the website, book marked it, and then did a sync. It reappeared on my Touch, but did not go back into the carousel and I still had no "recommended" choice for the carousel at all.
Still waiting to see how often the recommendations update and if I will get any
