Amazon Tracks Price Drops

I'd never seen this before.  Got an automated e-mail from Amazon a couple days ago.  Interesting idea and I thought they were making a recommendation based on some things Shea had looked at previously.  But it turns out they're claiming to recommend a fairly expensive nursing textbook based on the fact that I looked at a pop-philosophy book of “questions to make you think” on business, politics and ethics. Strange.
