Ooh! The ability to wishlist 'coming soon' books or to be notified when an author has a new book would be fabulously great!

1) Improve the search engine
2) Improve the search engine
3) Improve the search engine
4) Add a shopping cart
5) Add series order as a sort option

Yes, all of that.

I'd also like a publication date sort order.

^^^ THIS TOO!!!!

and ditto fbrII and Anemic Oak also!

I really hope Kobo's listening because they've lost my business lately. I've gotten better [and easier to find] deals at Amazon, Googleplay and even Sony [yes, it's true!].

I also agree with Mrs.Often that this should be stickied, although I'm sure Kobo is very busy with the launch of new product. Soon enough though they'll want to keep all those existing AND new customers happy!?

After reading this I want them to fix/quit doing whatever is going on here

Makes me much less likely to buy from them.

Thanks for posting that, I too have noticed that on occasion, price changing between log-in and not, etc. That and I've noticed prices changing from day-to-day as well. ie. A book I wanted yesterday was $17, today it's $14. [Incidentally I bought it today at Amazon for $10!!!] I'm sure this happens elsewhere also, and dropping pices is a good thing, but it goes the other way also where prices increase! As the article says, I'm quite happy to give my business to Kindle, Sony, Google, whoever is willing to [consistently] give me better prices.

How about actually selling the e-readers, so that US customers could buy them?

Surely your beefs are with the wrong people.

KOBO do NOT sell to the consumers.

Go and gripe to the B & M stores

They did not that long ago (it's how I bought a Vox). Since they have no US partner bookstore anymore (AFAIK) maybe they should do so again.

Kobo sold me a Touch when I first bought one a year or so ago.
