Oh, I guess it's too late... I have to catch him in the act.

You're right. The site is very badly designed. But it's still my favorite ebookstore. Why? I'm not sure. Fictionwise ticked me off with whole "preferred format" and the site "yelling" at me in big red letters about "this isn't your preferred format". I realize they have to program for the lowest common denominator, but I'm not it. Unreasonable of me? Probably.

Yep, List View at BoB is defintely my friend, I too wish they'd make that the default view. I think part of it is the ecommerce software they use. I put together a sample site using ZenCart in about 20 minutes - was easy to navigate, easy tor read, and loaded a ton faster than BoB. Maybe I should write them and suggest they look at ZenCart.

And you should see MINE!! 41 titles strong at BoB alone. I also wish they'd revamp the wishlist options. I'd love to be able to sort by author, by publication date, by price....etc.
