yes I do...
I must say I used to like it more than I do now. Many of my Kindle books are not indexed by Eat Your Books, so that means A LOT of what I own is not part of it.
I renew annually, but sometimes take time off - it seems to me when I cancel now, I won't be renewing
I do not use it enough to justify the expense, but I know some people love it.

And as always they will not reveal the cost until you surrender
your contact information for yet more spam emails. What is the cost?

Ouch! This frugle German says Nein Danke!
I know! I thought they wanted too much info without knowing $$, so I thought I'd take a survey
Reminds me of an job application I filled out yesterday for a position.
I spent over an hour crafting a cover letter, fine tuning my resume etc.
Spent another 20 mins answering all of their questions, then?
They want my SS number so they can get a tax credit! WHAAAA?
We haven't held hands yet and you want in to my "shorts?" UGH.
They did give the option to decline, but not sure if it affects the odds on my application being looked at. Sigh.
Thanks for letting me know Sally!

This has become a very real problem on the internet...
our information is valuable and these sites have farmed it before we realize it. If I get into any site asking for all my personal info before I can get a cost, I drop it like a hot potato. If it is something I really want, I will call to see if I can find out pricing (and the outrageous shipping charges) and order over the phone. If they won't tell me, I tell them why I will not be buying anything from their website and hang up.
I've also stopped giving out my mobile to anyone unless I want them to have it. If I don't recognize the number, I don't answer. Someone I know will leave a message and I can add the number to my contacts.
If the person/company doesn't need my number but is farming it to sell, that is obvious and I just make up something. If it's a vendor I'm actually doing business with, we have an old landline on voicemail to collect those calls once/week. It's never answered otherwise.
Far too many robo-calls on mobiles these days and it is supposed to be illegal.
