But seriously, people are going to resort to searching by genre because it won't make much sense otherwise. Then again, maybe I'm being too logical.

I'm also seeing reports that the lending has been flooded with erotica and some of the more "desperate titles" -- meaning those that weren't selling anyway.

No way to know. I can say my sales have taken a hit since 1. public library lending started and 2. since it became possible for indies to upload and lend via prime.

and 3. my sales hit may have nothing to do with the above and I can't actually map cause/effect and so on. Just supposition on my part!
