No, I did not know that, mainly because I just cannot bring myself to linger long enough at one time to figure it all out. Frankly, I am afraid what else will jump out and bite me. So one little step at a time, LOL. However it is sure that they took all the functionality I enjoyed and replaced it with stuff that not only I have no use for, but frankly makes the library pretty much unusable.
The way I used it is not to search for a book, but rather browse what they have when I had time to do so, and put it in my wishlist. To me if i could have more than one wishlist (like "I want it NOW! "I want it" and "I only want it if nothing better is available") would be ideal. Then I went to borrow just stuff on my wishlist, because I don't always have the time to browse the inventory when I want to borrow a book. So now my wishlist is thousands of books, and by removing a list view from it they rendered it unusable. I cannot possibly just REMEMBER every book on my wishlist, even with a pretty HUGE book cover. NOPE, no way. BTW, does anybody have any idea why the covers have to be HUGE? I would think that even if someone wants to base the decision on a cover alone, they would be able to enlarge it sufficiently to see the detail that would help them to make up their mind.
Well, then this whole change only makes sense to the people who got paid to implement it.
