Except they aren't stupid enough to automatically spam their customers' inboxes with alerts for every author they ever purchased from. You have to choose to follow an author.
There is also a Follow button on every single author profile. |
Yea, I remember when they first put it in and I signed up for a number of authors. A pity it didn't seem to work correctly. I think that I've gotten one or two notices over the years. Yep, just double checked. I'm following Stephen W. Sears and was not notified when The Landscape Turned Red hit the Kindle store. Fortunately, Authoralerts _did_ notify me.
You know there is the modern invention called opt in, it's been around for, oh ten years or so. Just a little check box on the thanks for buying page asking if you would be interested in being notified when this author has a new product in the kindle store. If you don't want it, don't click on it.
