(The 3 that appear are The Hunger Games, 50 Shades of Grey, and The Bible.) I have gone in and said "Not Interested" to all 40+ books on the list, but each sync puts back utterly awful books.....

(I'm on an Aura HD.)

Thanks....
I'm sorry, but I'm dying. That's hilarious. I know it's not to you.

Kobo really ought to have a blacklist of books that never get recommended, no matter what their (truly poor) algorithms predict and 50 Shades and the Bible should be in the top ten.

After years as a customer and hundreds of purchases, Kobo still has no clue what I like to read.

Thanks for the affirmation not to let Kobo access my devices ever again.
