Yes, that is stupid. SkyNET isn't quite ready to take over yet.

2. Email follow-up to me having the temerity to use the preview feature. "We hope you enjoyed your free preview." And a link to buy the book. If I'd wanted it, I would have either bought it or added it to my wishlist. I DETEST the subtle hint that I owe you something 'your free preview'.

I dunno. It seems like good business to me. I think you are reading too much into a simple sentence. Amazon regularly nags me about stuff looked at once, weeks ago.
One thing that is worse in my opinion is Amazon's 'We just found a deal we think you'll love!' messages. Invariably, they are for books about cowboy billionaires romancing a BBW werewolf (sorry, wolf-shifter) and other sorts of books I have never looked at.
Here's an idea: Instead of making terrible recommendations, send me notifications when items on my list go on sale.
