So, for myself I needed something for audiobooks. Audible is owned by Amazon but AFAIK they don't offer a similar service.
Also, I don't want email notifications. I get too many emails, and ignore anything in the "Promotional" tab. Plus, I'll see the email while I'm at work, which isn't when I'm looking to find my new book.
I wanted a thing I could check when I finish my last book, to tell me right away what has come out since.
EDIT: But yeah, I also recognize that this is an extremely niche set of circumstances! Amazon's email notification service is probably what most folks would want.
