Correct. I've seen it a massive 4 times since I purchased my KA1. You can still borrow it but that involves going old timey and using ADE. Oh, the horrors!!!

Perhaps that it works for 99.9% of books? I just tried a search against my local library's Just Added on my Clara HD and on their webpage. The search returned 1666 books on my Clara HD and 1668 on the library website (the Clara actually returned more results but the 1666 was the number of books which matched what playing with the library's maximum age search gave).
