Thanks for the suggestions but it's not really a question of searching for the books (as in looking for something to buy) it is more being able to get the book that I want onto the page so I can click the buy now button so having a second browser window or second account won't help.
The only books I can access while logged in are those on the home page or in the Top 50 list or the Free books.
Any other books are impossible to locate. If I search by author or title I get a lovely message telling me they don't have any results. If I try to click one of the categories down the left side I am told that the list is empty or geographically restricted - every single list/category has either no books or they are restricted.
However these search options work perfectly when I am not signed in so it's not as if I am trying to access books that really are unavailable and I have had no problems (once I get to the book and then sign in) with the actual purchases.
The only way to get to a particular book is to sign out and navigate to the book and then click the buy now button and then I get prompted to sign in. If I sign in before I click the buy now button all the books vanish and the red message telling me there are no books comes back.
The geographically restricted comment made me think kobo was confused about my location but I have checked my details numerous times and they are all correct. I have never used any other location other than Australia and I have been purchasing books successfully from Kobo since mid 2010.
