Browsing by category at online retailers would be much improved for me if they only allowed each book to be in one category, and I think it would make the sellers think more carefully about which category to put it in.if they could only choose one.
Good point and good suggestion. It may be better if the seller prioritised the categories and then the user could pick the maximum number of categories to show.
