re: Points policy change thoughts
I'm encouraged to read so many thoughtful comments from dedicated readers! Until I read the posts, I thought I was the only one who couldn't find desirable books to mooch. I buy newer and more popular books from Amazon when they are available at a "reasonable" price. I then list them on my inventory and they are gone within hours. The books on my wish list almost never come up. I end up mooching books that look like they might be acceptable, which they sometimes are, but frequently are not. I feel that I'm not receiving nearly the quality that I'm giving. I keep sending books mostly because I want them to be read, not because I'll be able to use the points. It bothers me, both as a giver and moocher, that those who constantly patrol their wish list and recent listings (which I am sometimes able to do) snap up the desirable books, while those who are patiently waiting to be notified that a book is available never get the book. It would seem fairer to make the book available to the first 10 people on the wait list during the first 24 hours of listing.
