Got any bad apples on your Kindle?

I've been catching up on the reading on my Kindle this month--reading things that have been languishing in my "To Read" collection. There have been two that I've started and just removed from the Kindle. The first was trite, and I just didn't like the writing style. The second was just not interesting to me, and I wasn't thrilled with that writing style either. I honestly don't know why I downloaded either of them--they had to be free, or else I would have realized from the sample that they weren't for me.

On the downside, I left my Kindle at home today. Waaaaah!

I just delete any books I'm not enjoying, and don't let the stinkers linger.

Yep, there are no known stinkers on mine. There may well be some unread stinkers in waiting, but once discovered, they will be immediately subjected to the delete function.

I remove any books I didn't enjoy from my Kindle and if they are really bad, I also remove them from my archive permanently. I don't see any reason to keep them around if I know I won't be reading them again.

This.

I bought my Kindle when I first started a graduate program that I knew would require a lot of reading. My first semester, I took "Category Fiction" which involved reading 12 commercial novels over the course of the semester.

And...yeah. Those are my bad apples. The worst of them were Open Season by C. J. Box and The Dead Cat Bounce by Sarah Graves. I've kept them around, though (and the other ones we discussed in the class), because even in their awfulness they provide a lot of learning opportunities.

And, of course, so I can double-check the author's name from time to time to strongly recommend against them.
