I buy ebooks for my library (donation + wish list). I was a little flummoxed when one of my last purchases was ONLY available as a Kindle book. OK, I have the desktop application; I'll read the book that way.

I think I got a total of four emails from Amazon. YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO BUY THIS? DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR NOTES? BUY? BUY? PUPPY DOG EYES!!

It was... surprisingly distressing for me. I mean, it was a freaking book on cooking, but I felt very un-private. My library reading is MY reading. I don't really want or need Amazon pounding on my email once a day saying BUY? YOU WANT TO BUY? BUY?
