Not all stores carry every author's every title (new or old).
Why keep using an inferior tool (hating it and wishing it would improve) when better tools abound?

I can't argue with your logic. However i personally don't think about "good old so and so" until I'm in the Amazon Book store and encounter something that triggers my remembrance of the author. It is a natural reaction to look him/her up in the book store you are in. A proper search will frequently follow but only people made of sterner stuff than me could resist a quick bookstore search.
