Clearly Amazon has a glitch here and an opportunity to improve. You can help them by letting support know of your problems.

I have done that. I even got a followup email asking for examples. Nothing changed. I've gotten a couple of emails notifying me of authors that I follow over the years, but it's rare and sporadic. That's not to say that I don't get daily emails from Amazon about books they want to sell me, but usually it's books that either I had already bought from Amazon years ago, or authors I've never heard of and have little interest in.
AuthorAlerts does a pretty good job. I get most of my pre-orders by going to authoralerts and looking at the upcoming list. I'm not sure where they get their information though because the indies rarely get updated.
