My first thought was that they continuously ask me to buy books I borrow from public libraries.
My second thought was that, just maybe, that's because I often look at reviews on their site before borrowing the book through a library.
My third thought was to put it to the test. So I just borrowed a random book from the New York Public Library, one which I had never heard of before. Then I cleared my browser and went to
www.amazon.com. And at the bottom left of my computer screen, with no need to scroll, was an advertisement for the book I just borrowed.
Then I went to Manage My Kindle and selected the the pull-down Action menu for the book. I choose the sixth choice, Return This Book. But the third choice was -- Purchase this book.
This doesn't bother me, but, well, if I was a librarian, I sure wouldn't appreciate it.
