They also have some sampling of your work on hand. If they read it and like it, your audience has grown by one. The odds of them spending money on your work--possibly even the same book in another format or as a gift--have just risen from zero to pretty darn likely
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?
