Re: [libreoffice-users] Book-writing with Writer

hipiers.com does not send out spam emails, or it should not since the 
owner of the domain is against spam as much as we are.

I do not know anything about Scrivener or its web site.

Did you do a Google or Amazon search for "writer info", a book search,  
or some other one that might make you think you are a writer of some 
type of book or manual?  If you did, you may have triggered a 
advertisement from Amazon.

When I look at my weather site, it displays advertisement based on my 
searches on Amazon, Google, and even Tigerdirect.com [computer and 
electronics web store].

Of course, you could always use the "Private Window" option in Mozilla 
Firefox to reduce your web footprint and not give, the web sites you 
visit, your info that is stored in your bowser, such as email address 
and other things you do not want given out.  Every browser I know of has 
personal information stored in it.  The trick is to make your browser 
not have this info available to the sites you visit.  Firefox has the 
"private window" option. [File > New Private Window].
