I finally got back on to complete the survey and changed my answers a bit and added a bunch more. Will it do any good?
I used to browse the library's ebook collection until the new website. Now I only look for books I have found elsewhere.
The new site looks bad on both windows computer and tablet, but on my 7 inch tablet I can only see one book cover at a time if I make the title and author font big enough to read(Nexus 7 using Chrome browser).
The old website was very easy to use. I used to be able to see the title, author, and description all together which made it easy to browse. If the book was part of a series, I could also see the other books available in the series. Now all I see on first glance is part of the title and part of the author name. If I want any info about the book I have to click on a link - not very user friendly. The book cover is now way too big and part of it is even covered now! Everything I do takes more clicks and more web pages than before including checkout. There also seems to be no way to easily change how long I want to check the book out now - I only get my default. The pages also take a lot longer to load now.
Select if you agree or disagree that the following presentation aspects are an improvement.
What Display of titles on the website homepage? There are a lot of large book covers and partial titles and partial author names.
Information on title details page - I don't like how the description of the book broken up into two places and there is now no series info.
Format options on the 'Bookshelf' page? I only get to download what I chose to download. If this is refering to picking the format to borrow, there are too many clicks to get to choose the format - Borrow, Download, Select one Format, Confirm & Download.
Select if you agree or disagree that the following functionality aspects are an improvement.
Responsive design - page loads seem much slower now especially since I have to go to so many pages to do what used to be fewer clicks and pages.
One-Step Checkout (no Cart) - there are too many clicks necessary - Borrow, Download, Select one Format, Confirm & Download.
Filtered search - finally, something that is good when it works.
