where to start....
Just looking at the software itself...
connect is incredibly slow - compared to the web site of the same content it is at least twice as slow
the window design is terrible - windows nested within windows having vertical scroll bars - for the simplest of functions I have to first scroll the outer window, then scroll the inner, then again scroll the outer and finally scroll the inner again to get to the bottom of it. Thats for every single page view (of the lists of books)
Whats with the >> options on the book contents page? It adds maybe a sentence to the description, complete waste of time.
when I view a book contents there is no search I have to hit the > button hundreds of times to get to what I want (and of course there is scrolling, scrolling scrolling).
numerous books I have imported end up with no title - how about a simple rule - if after importing a book has no title that it use the file name. I am willing to bet that no one wants a file with no name.
and a miriad of little things like this make the software appear not just basic but badly designed and implemented.
Its like they looked at itunes and amazon and produced the worst mix of both you can imagine.
The only way to use the connect store is to minimize it - search on amazon, check that it is availabe in connect (from the web site), then buy it on connect. I do not use it for anything else.
