Not a nasty comment , more of a let peeve.

I wish the ku books devoted less pages to urging readers to do social media stuff, sign up, follow me on... Appeals,. And quit stuffing end of book with sample chapters of something else the same author has written.

The annoyance of seeing dedications to Tom, Eick, Harrry And anyone else the author is on first name terms with pales in comparison to the above, but is still annoying. Dedications should be hand written when you greet the author face to face after buying his book, not published to the world.

Publisher's should share some of the blame. I don't want to follow anybody on any social platform, thank you very much.
Signed. A Luddite.

It's probably the publishers who insist on appending "a riveting mystery with an amazing twist" and similar nonsense to the actual book title.

Ps as for poor writing, my comments are based on the many prime reading best sellers I have swiftly returned, having quit after 1st chapter. There may well be good writers, somewhere in the 20,000 or more books on offer, but I have no way of finding them, since Amazon's algorithmic recommendations are so awful.
