Why are HN linking to advertising? The "article" offer no insight about the books.

Having a single page with only images to products, is what I call a ad page full of ads, and are the same style as those I get in the mail. Whats next, a link to a "free coffee at Starbucks this weekend" page?




By 'only images' you of course mean links to to the individual pages to download the ebook of your choice. The content of the books is spelled out quite clearly in the titles of the books which are very easily readable from the images.


If the site had some description (say, reviews) of the books in question, it would be different. Now, it just is images, with titles, and link where to get them.

The spam in my mailbox is also just pages with images, which include links and has clearly spelled out titles.

I am almost surprised that adblock didn't block the site altogether.
