Ow wow, they have some catching up to do then. My Aura doesnt have a shopping cart that's for sure.

No and yes, yes I can buy a book straight of my wishlist by pressing buy, but I can't checkout my entire wishlist or make multiple wishlists (i.e. work, vacation). What I expected was the ability to checkout my entire wishlist on my device or at least upload my wishlist to the webbased store and check it out there. However the webbased store seems to lack a wishlist alltogether.

Cheers, I missed the sort order thing (cant believe i did but i did), must have been distracted by the options pull down to the right.

If I walk into a physical library that library is divided into sections (sci-fi, fantasy, technical, kids, etc, etc), then each section has bookcases with authors or subject matter, the shelves themselves are sorted by author and suborganised on topic or by series. This is basicly what I was (am) looking for in shelf management.

Funny enough I did notice, but for some reason I got absorbed by the options pulldown to the right and missed the sort order. Sadly enough the sort order doesnt help, unless you buy something in order (which I didnt).
