Sorry to bring this up so far in the thread but:
Why would you need to do any such thing?
I have a general set of genres I like, actually anything but horror and romance, not too big on murder mysteries either.
I pretty much pick them at random. Same as I did with pBooks, I would wander the shelves of the local second hand book store, and always get a few extra books at random in addition to authors I knew I liked
. With all the free ebooks out there and the upload section here, that is made even easier.
I generally pick several at random without looking at cover or blurb, if I want to know what I'm going to be reading, any author I like and I'll get anything new I find by them, but otherwise, why limit yourself? with ebook readers it so easy to burn through a book or two a day.
