@Atunah, I quit using ereaderiq many months back, when he started referring mostly scamlets.
The guy actually told me exactly how he picked his referrals.

Not sure I am understanding what you are saying. I sign up for specific books to follow for price reductions, I follow specific authors for same and I follow specific books that have not yet been kindle-ized. I get emails on all of those. Unless I purposely follow a scam author, I won't get any emails on such books.
I do go to the site once a day for a quick look at what the price reductions overall are in the specific genres I like with specific parameters. So might there be some scamlets in there, could be, but I don't see a lot of them and just scroll. Since I drill down to sub genres, its usually just a list of maybe 2 pages each day to look at.
So I am a bit befudding how the site refers scamlets. I set the length in the parameters when I do my daily quick browse of overall price reductions.
But mainly I have big lists of specific books for price reduction and now on kindle. I also like being able to see with the chrome plug in the overall price history of a book. Gives me an idea if the current price is a good deal or if a book only goes on sale rarely.
Its why I use the site. I control what I see. Its why I do not like any of the ad based emails like bookbub or any of the others. Anyone can pay to be on it and I don't want to see that. I want to see anything that is on sale, even if the author hasn't paid to be listed. Authors, especially in genres I like, have been throwing 1000's and 1000's of dollars to push their books up the list, collecting a gazillion street team reviews, and ads everywhere. I want to find books I am interested in and that are good, not those that are sold like a slap and chop.
