I get so little feedback in terms of karma points or comments that I don't know if anyone downloads the books I post, and I don't know what people are looking for. Of course, everyone is able to start his own thread with his own favorite category if he wishes.

GA, without actually crunching the numbers, your average karma amount per number of posts seems to be _higher_ than the average.
I see two important advantages to the karma system. One is to say "thanks." For many people, feeling that their work is appreciated causes them to want to do more of it. Second, which posts get karma and which ones don't, serves as a kind of a poll which helps posting members to know what people like and, therefore, what to expend their effort on posting and what not to expend their effort on.
