Kindle Spring Reading Challenge
Starts today and runs through the end of June.
The screenshot is from the Kindle app; I haven’t seen a web page. Apparently you gather “achievements” by reading and earn “bragging rights.” Wow, how enticing is that? And in exchange for bragging rights, Amazon gets more data. In fact, I don’t care to what extent Amazon snoops when I’m reading on a Kindle device or app, but I prefer honesty about what’s going on at a minimum. I did wonder if it’d be like the challenge last summer, when you could earn actual credit toward purchases. But no, just the fun of the brag. |

This is the only one I've found which leads to the Kindle App
https://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=23760253011 Looks like Amazon wants people to use the Kindle App much more. |

I don't read on the app unless I don't have other options, so it's very rare.

I wish instead of all those annoying recommendations on Kindles, they would show the reading statistics available on the app.
That would at least remind me not to break my reading streak. |
