And there's the rub, Terisa. Publishers assign the categories the books appear under. So 50 Shades etc and Karen Robards can appear together even if we see them as very different. And that is on websites that have come up with a really great way to find books. Kobo has a long way to go IMHO in this area.

On the plus side, I do know that they are working hard to get this right. This area has really bothered me and I developed very strong opinions about it. I recently wrote to Kobo senior
staff working in this specific area and it sure seems like it is a very high priority for them.

Time will tell.
