Meaning that you can't just put the catalog on your Kindle and start searching it. You have to give the Kindle some time to index it before it becomes searchable. I don't know how long that would take on a work that size.

As far as being complete, I'll have to take another look, but the works of Algernon Blackwood (one of my favorites) don't seem to be there as far as I can tell.

Also, I want to be clear, I'm not disparaging the catalog at all. I just don't personally find it compelling enough to use. That opinion is subject to change of course.
