There were a few threads on Amazon about Ereaderiq and Authoralerts. The person that runs Ereaderiq posted to say that Amazon was no longer willing to pay them for their links to Amazon that generated sales. I don't know exactly how it used to work. Ereaderiq said they'd keep running for a while on donations and try to find some sort of subscription model that would work. People thought Authoralerts had the same problem but I don't know if that's been verified.

Amazon has had a follow-this-author feature for a while and lately they seem to have added it to most of their author pages. It's never worked for me but maybe they'll improve it. I miss Authoralerts though; it worked very well for me.
