Thanks! That's me too. I copied this from there, and kept this part to just the search features.
I was hoping to spark a discussion about Smashwords features, but either people weren't interested or didn't know Smashwords well enough to jump in with alternate preferences.
I don't tend to send in suggestions/preferences much, because I'm active at Dreamwidth and involved with the OTW, both of which have open-source coding projects that openly *want* multiple suggestions from as many directions as they can get them, which means I get a reasonable amount of practice thinking about improvements & new features--and I know that other sites generally don't want to be constantly bombarded with suggestions.
I expect that, relatively easily, Smashwords could implement a sort-by-price feature and several other sorting options; it'd almost be more difficult to decide how to redesign the layout to add these new features. I expect that implementing a bulk-download feature would be nearly impossible, and it doesn't matter how many people would like it.
