The other problem is there is no filtering available. So you can't tell what is a genuinely new book from an author, versus what is just a reissue from their back catalog, or a different edition etc. So when my favourite author has 4 upcoming books, turns out it is only one being released in a range of formats. That is where being via a plugin could be handy, to filter out all the "cruft" by comparing with books in your database and only tell you about *genuinely* new books...
They haven't been going very long, from what I understand, or have recently resurrected, so I'm sure they'd appreciate any feedback and suggestions. I agree about the filtering - it's annoying to get an alert and then find it's just back-catalogue being rereleased in a new format.
