I don't mind ads at the end of a book, but to me this is way too many pages. One page, to me, is plenty of room to list similar books. I don't want whole page summaries, or more than just basic info. I'd rather one trim list that I can use to go to my browser and pull up summaries and reviews on my own.

I just find pages and pages of ads at the back a huge turn off.

I also really dislike previews at the back of books. They throw the page count/percentage off and I don't start something I can't complete. If I like the book I'm reading and want the next in a series, I'll go and get it at the end of the book without prompting. I don't want to spoil it by reading a preview when I don't have the book ready to dive into.
