I like the service and the execution for the most part is quite good. The search function is terrible precisely because so much of their content is US only. I think they should have focused on getting more content available before expanding beyond the US.
That's odd. Or maybe it is country dependent. I saw several fantasy authors and moved them into my library. Just out of curiosity -- can you see Trudi Canavan, Chris Strange (more UF than Fantasy...kind of a mix) or Martha Wells?

I also have a book by Michael Gruber that might be fantasy, but I'm not familiar with his work at all, so could be wrong on that one. I had others, but already read them so moved them out.

I'm kind of curious about the country limitations. I also saw Robin Hobb and Terry Goodkind (both fantasy although neither falls under particular favorites).
