Given the hype that TPB had gotten over the years, I would wander over there every now and then to see what was what. Their ebook and audiobook section was always very poor - unless you were looking for a current bestseller (which I never was); my searches usually turned up negative. And if I found a listing for an author I read, it would usually be only one or two books by them, and were things I had already bought. I would say to myself, "Fifty million billion people supposedly use this site, and there isn't ever ONE book listed for (fill-in-whatever-author's-name)?". Always seemed odd to me, not to mention a waste of my time.
But a lot of sites are like that - the concentration is usually on things that young males like: current movies, current music, current software, and wallpaper images of cars or nude women.
