Readers who liked this also liked... It's usually at the end of a book though, past the weird last couple pages of author description and index that I never really get to anyway. I suppose a nicely formatted weekly/monthly/yearly epub describing what I have read recently with some related suggestions would be nice. I know there are some decent recommendation algorithms out there, are they patented or something?
