- I can't drill down by other metadata fields such as series
- I can't see which books I have already downloaded. This is a big one for me.

This isn't a criticism, by the way, I'm not expecting the browser experience to be the same. I think the preferred flow is that the user would use a third party tool rather than the browser?
The last (downloaded ebooks) is not doable but the first two should be (via advanced search).
