The insinuation, of course, is that
some of us
do need to be told what to buy and what to think. (Personally I think
some of us take
ourselves entirely too seriously.)
Do you know how often I've bought a book on the Nook because of their "recommendation" screen? Zero. Do you know how many Kindle books I bought because of the ads on the Kindle -- I think one book.
But I have bought a lot of books from Amazon (and at Barnes & Noble) because they're 1) Cheap and 2) They've got good selections. But I've also gone elsewhere regularly. Win-win situation for me.
