Recommendations in languages I don't read
May 8, 2022
Recently, I have had books in Dutch and German turn up in my recommendations. I might be able to struggle through simple books in those languages, but not by choice and I only have English set in my preferences.
Speaking of preferences, is there a way to exclude book TYPES? At the moment, an audiobook keeps sitting front and centre on the recommendations on the landing page. Since I find audiobooks marginally less appealing than the idea of DIY dentistry, I would love to be able to exclude audiobooks from showing up in my recommendations

You shouldn't be getting recommendations in languages you don't read. Either the books are mislabelled or erroneously tagged as the main book. The audiobook that keeps showing up is likely the main book of that family when it shouldn't be. I'm guessing there are digital and print versions of the book. This will be easier dealt with via a support ticket. If you email in with links to the books in question we'll be able to take a closer look.
I removed the Dutch one from my recs, here's the German one

In that case the German book was erroneously the main book in the family. I've now switched it to an English edition. With that Dutch book, there would have been an English edition that was meant to have been the recommendation for you. In the future, if this comes up again, a support ticket is best!
