Not signed up, but the first thing Mrs. Rock does when she gets home from work is check out the Kindle-Deal des Tages, the special-priced English book of the day at the Amazon DE website.

There's a lot of poop as you can imagine (and cheap poop is still poop) but occasionally there's a really cool deal.

I've decided to only have what I haven't read yet on my kindle (and what I'm currently reading) so my list is small.  I don't reread novels that much and got tired of my collections taking up all that space on my homescreen.

Here is another question: what collections do you have?  I did my collections by genre.

Shakespeare, Twain, Hawthorne, Poe, TS Eliot, Shelley, Conan Doyle, Lovecraft . . . and an omnibus of Robt E Howard. Yeats poems, de Maupassant stories, a Kafka collection which is actually less complete than a single volume on my (physical) shelf, a bunch of Bierce, but maybe not all.
