Although the new version uses larger image and font sizes, a couple of quick "Zoom Outs" with Firefox puts it back to pretty much the same amount of info on the page as before.
The only thing I really miss is the account summary page (the one with "Checkout limit: 20", "Titles checked out: 11", "Hold limit: 10", "Titles on hold: 9") all in one neat box.
On the other hand, the new "#14 on 4 copies" vs. the old "4 people ahead of you" (these are actual numbers from the same book) give me a much better idea of when the book will be available for me.
As for searches...yeah, having the text you enter in any box in the "Adanced Search" be an "or" of every word is stupid, but if you use the search box at the top of the page, it does the same as now ("and" with some fuzziness). So, the only change that I'll notice is that you can't easily restrict to all ebook formats without using the "Advanced Search"
This plugin does all my searching for me, so I only use the website search a few times a month...not really a big deal.
