Has anyone else noticed that it is impossible to read the subtitles for the books sold at the store - they don't display them in the book description segment and the picture is postage stamp sized ?

Yeah, I have that problem too, it's kind of annoying especially with the brief or non-existent summaries they offer. For example trying to see if a book is part of a series, you have no idea. Using Amazon in conjunction with Connect is a must in my opinion.
