It seems to me that they must have a reporting system that shows trends as well as individual requests. And every time I go back there they show similar book suggestions based on my previous searches.

I also check Amazon for reviews of ebooks. And then don't buy them because they only sell in Kindle format.

This is not a full time project. Nor an obsession. I do it in the hopes that Amazon will eventually recognize that we don't all have Kindles. And that there are books out there that we would like to buy. If, that is, the publishers would decide to make more money instead of trying to fight ebooks.

It's easy to do. Use Amazon to look up your favorite out of print book in the Kindle store. Likewise, if you don't own a Kindle use the Kindle store to read reviews. Check with Amazon to see if a book is in ebook format. The list goes on and on.

I know that it's a long shot. But it is easier to check with Amazon than it is to write all of the publishers inquiring about ebook availability.
