I have the same frustration with Amazon. I tend to go book shopping every couple of weeks. So when I go to the store, I first go to the new books section. Using the order of publishing date on the Amazon site is almost useless. It wasn't nearly this bad a year ago, but it's gotten worse and worse. I suspect the major cause of the problem is the self publishing and PD books. If there was some way to filter those out, it might be ok. Believe it or not, Sony's website is actually worlds better than Amazon's now, at least from a usability/scanning point of view.
While it isn't ebooks, audible.com has possible the best online shopping experience that I've seen. It's easy to search for books, to sort books in a number of different orders and to change the number of books on the screen. Better yet, I can stick audio books in my wishlist for later purchase, or simply as a reminder to look at a book more closely. Amazon and Sony could learn a lot from Audible.
