I work in a bookstore and sadly, I have heard of them, all of them. You're quite right, they're prime examples of the crap that's wildly popular for six months and then ends up in landfills. Our store buys and sells used books as well and let me tell you, we could probably build a second store with all the copies of the wretched DA VINCI CODE that have come back to us by now. IMHO this perfectly illustrates why e-books need to take off now - just look at the amount of book trash generated by these titles that have no staying power, but sell in the millions for a short time. So much easier to just hit Delete...
