I do like how aggressive Amazon has been about providing content for the kindle, but there are few little things that I think that Amazon could do to make it easier for me to buy titles. Perhaps Amazon has a way to do some of these already and I'm just missing it.

1) A wish list similar to that at Audible.com. On audible, I can browse and if I see an audible book that I'm interested in, but not ready to buy, I can put it on my wishlist with a click of a button. I can then pull up my wishlist, select one or more books and click on the send to shopping cart to buy it. I use this feature all the time.

2) When inside a category, sort by Author or Title instead of just bestselling, rated or price. I'm just use to scanning for books based on author since that's how I do it in the book store.

3) A watch list that will notify me when a desired title or author is available. The Sony store actually has this feature, though it doesn't appear to work (at least not for me). To me this seems to be a real no brainer. Send me an e-mail when Jim Butcher has a new book on the kindle. Let me know when Lord of Light or any Roger Zelazny book comes out on the kindle. To me, this seems to be a real no brainer.

4) Offer a compressed list view. Just show me the title, author and price with a link to the details. That would let me scan through the lists much more efficiently when I'm looking for specific titles and authors.
