Do the majority of downloaders get their new book fix from info from RSS feed? (I can't subscribe from my work computer, my only internet connection, so don't know what is shown in the feed.)
Do they get it from the five "Latest Ebooks" display on the home page?
Do they get it by browsing the first page in the forum for their preferred format (Do they go the extra mile and browse page 2?)
How many downloaders actually use the search engine unless they are seeking a specific title/author/subject? And how would one use the search engine to find new (as opposed to old) uploads?

I guess it's possible that these are exactly the kinds of questions that are being asked if there is already an intention to redesign the library. I do use the library to search for public domain works usually before going elsewhere, but I have to admit, some of these features I've never even used.
I never even noticed the search feature until you mentioned it then. You don't want to know how I've been finding my ebooks until now.
EDIT: Oh, and congratulations for the decidedly un-grumpy post. What's in a name, eh?
