But if that weren't my hangup--there's no reviews on the site. No publisher info, no filesize, no date of publication. Every page has the same title. The advanced search engine doesn't tell you when you've picked an empty category, and you can only search for one at a time. Books don't show what category/ies they're sorted into. Can't search by price or format. Can't even open a book, then click on the author's name to buy more from the same person.
(You've answered that: yes. They/you aren't pulling out entirely, but you're not planning on maintaining an active presence here, not planning on taking part in the discussions of "what makes a good ebook store" and "which PDFs work on what readers" threads.

I plan to do my physical best to maintain an active presence on the forum. I'm do want to let forum-goers better understand that my time is sorely divided, and my level of involvement will be sporadic. I don't want to create any more misunderstandings about what I'm trying to say, so that will be the end of that discussion about myself.
Your comments about the ebookstore are valuable because the new version has just literally launched. I will pass all of these directly onto our tech so we can fix it. Many of our books do not have DRM, but we need to be able to share that with buyers. If you do have reasons for not using our bookstore, we need to know so we can change it.
