If you click on a category (e.g., Science and Nature) and then click on More Science and Nature New Releases at the bottom, you get a single page of 50 new titles in that category. You could repeat that for each category of interest to you.

I know that stinks. But it beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Guess that's all we can hope for.
Yep, that is what I usually do, I look in the New Releases. However since I do look there fairly often, I do remember some of the books there, so not all of those 4 pages are new books from the last weeks update. They just have four pages and when they get new ones they just stick them in and then take out some of older ones in the list so it will make 4 pages, i.e. 200 books roughly. So for example this week I would say that almost 50 books were really new, the rest were "overspills" from previous new additions. So it is actually only around ~50 new books that they show us, and then ~850 books that are hidden away for some reason.

Looking at the More xxx New Releases at each main topic page might give a better idea I guess of what is really new, but how difficult would it be for Sony to also include an added date so one can really see and sort these lists on that. Has anyone tried to ask Connect to do this ?
