I knew someone would prove me wrong. Even as I typed it... Honestly I'm mostly going by the complaints I see from a couple of other forums--that most of the books in the program have either been free or very cheap in the past and that none of the big publishers are there.

I have only perused the list once because overall the idea does not appeal to me right now. I do see some enthusiasm for the program on the US side, but to be honest, a lot of that enthusiasm seems to be "oh, I'll find a bunch of books and do a free month." Of course, Amazon is hoping they will forget to cancel or otherwise find enough to continue the program.

There are at least two ladies in my cozy group who love the selection.
