Comment Selection Bias? (Score 1) 239
Does anyone else think that these are ridiculous statistics? The kindle underlines passages that are already highlighted, which has the potential to make it a lot more likely that someone else will highlight the same passage. In any case, if amazon thinks this is an accurate measure of what passages people are interested in, I think they need to go back and learn a little bit about conducting studies. More likely, they think it is a gimmick that lets people feel like they are interacting with other readers, and value it as such.
