I could do without the style over substance GUI of the CONNECT store. They use so much of the screen in white space that the real content that I am looking at is just a small part of the total display. Also the constriction of the presented lists to just 10 or 20 at a time. (NewEgg.com, one of the best on-line computer parts site, allows up to 100 items per page with most of the screen dedicated to what I am looking at.)

I could do without the "click here for more info" buttons when they take up more room that the rest of the information they provide.

I could do without the multiple entries for the same book at multiple prices ("Jennifer Government" is one example that had two entries with a delta of $5.00 between the prices.)

I could do without the slow response that reminds me of the days of dial-up. The only part that is really fast seems to be the charging to my account and the following book download.

I could do without the multiple small sizes of fonts in the resultant books. At times Amazon posts sample pages from their pbooks for viewing, CONNECT could/should do the same. At a minimum they could post how many lines of text per page in the "S" mode so we could judge the font size if they are unable to post the base font size.

I could do without having to write posts like this as they should be leading us with new and better things, not just reacting to user complaints.
