I suspect the real problem is that Amazon returns search results partially based on your history.
Clearly, pwalker8 is far less picky that he lets on, and Amazon knows it.  |
Given the sheer volume of ebooks that I've bought from Amazon, obviously I'm not terribly picky. Or rather I would say, that I don't go around cutting off my nose to spite my face. I use quite a few different techniques to get around my frustration with Amazon's search engine. What Amazon's search engine is good at is finding things when you know exactly what you want.
Places like authoralerts does a good job of notifying when books become available by specific authors, though it's not completely reliable either, so every so often, I'll miss some backlist books that I really want, only to run across them some months later (The Black Company books were like that).
Just as a note, I buy ebooks for my mother as well as for my niece and nephew (though on different accounts). My recommended by you books can be quite odd.
