"We were not able to find any Kindle MatchBook eligible titles based on your past print book purchases. See more Kindle MatchBook titles here." -- I bought $4k worth of books in last 18 months.

Edit: I bought a Kindle anyway. They look awesome and there is a $60 off deal going on.

Same here, it's odd because some books (which I was expecting to find under this promotion) fall in any of these categories:

a) A digital version is already distributed for free at the author's page (not that it makes any difference).

b) A digital version is not even purchasable, but you can find it by illegal means (seriously? I can download the torrent but not purchase the ebook??? This doesn't even make sense!).

c) A digital version is only available at Amazon.

Some of those torrents are OCR scanned copies.

I was talking about PDFs that look exactly or really similar to the printed book... (which probably are a leaked prerelease).
