Granted, it is probably worse for you, but I've noticed that with authors who are translated I usually get ONE set of their books--and sometimes that is NOT English. I *know* they have the English version, but I have to hunt for it.
As I was saying...I just did a search for Misha Crews on Kobo this morning and this is what was returned:

Quote:
34 results for "hugh howey"

Search instead for: misha crews
I have NO IDEA WHY it decided to search for Hugh Howey when I put in Misha Crews. This is similar to what has happened to me when I put in various author names. Look, Mr. Kobo Search engine, if I am searching for Rachel Aaron, do not give me "Random author search instead." In the last month I ran into this problem A LOT because I search for authors for whom I KNOW coupons will work if they are on kobo. And for many of them I get back these weird, random results. It's stupid and annoying.
