Some writers send great newsletters and don't sling them out too often. But many of the authors in book giveaways (and contests) think they have to send their readers an email each day, no matter that. ("I stubbed my toe this morning. BTW buy my book.")
That said, I might peek at that bookfunnel page anyway... But if I see anything that looks really good, it might be less trouble to buy it.  |
That's funny! Yes, it's sometimes much less trouble to buy the ebook, as you mention.
This (sometimes) constant email 'spamming' sometimes occurs with overly ambitious writers right here on Mobileread, too.
Now, in my case....
