One thing that annoys me about Amazon's search is that they seem to keep changing the various paths to get to a given result and not all of the paths lead to exactly the same result.
As a small example, there are 13 Elizabeth Daly titles available in Kindle format.
If I do a search on her name selecting the "Kindle Store" department from the dropdown list, it returns 23 results. One is a link to her Amazon author page, eight are a semi-random collection of books not by her, and fourteen are actually her books -- thirteen different titles, as the first book in the series has two versions.
If I click on the link to her author page and then click on "Kindle edition", it returns only 11 results -- the second and twelfth books in the series are missing, as well as the additional version of the first book.
The "Advanced Search" feature returns the same results as my first search except that there are only seven of the random not-by-Elizabeth-Daly books instead of eight.
I've never figured out any particular pattern for this so I usually end up trying all three methods and even then I'm never sure I've found everything.
