Amazon is Making it Difficult...

It seems that they just want to keep tweaking their site to prevent users from managing their content and to prevent people from seeing the books that there are to get.

1. They have changed their content & devices page from an easily scrapable 200 book per page list to 25 books per page with dropdowns and covers, lots of new things to do with each book, but you cant really do much in bulk since you can't see more than 25 books at a time. Basically they added covers (not bad if you have a small-ish library, but if you are like me and have purchased over 1000 books, you really can't scroll. If you try and scrape the site and put it in excell it's impossible because of all the drop downs, etc.

2. If you send to your Kindle they have done the same thing with that book list as where they put the covers in the list - but since they don't show the covers - it's just a bunch of blank covers taking up space in the list.

3. Adding books to a collection - impossible. They don't allow you to type in the name of the collection, you have to scroll down a list that is sorted randomly. Not helpful.

4. There is no way to sort the books in a collection - there is no discernable way to figure how they are sorted within the collection.

5. They stopped the rate/review section where you can mark - NOT INTERESTED

6. They stopped putting the book info in their emails when you purchase a new book - making it impossible to search emails for book info.

7. They stopped putting the author names in their book lists. Now it's just the title of the book and you have to look at the cover if you want to know the author. Not helpful for people who aren't looking at the website on their desktop where the covers are in color and larger.


Don't get me started on the Kindles and how they are now set up...
