(If a search for JA Konrath doesn't turn up books by J. A. Konrath, that's bad.)
An e-store doesn't work like brick-and-mortar, where if you have Great Stuff, customers will put up with lousy arrangements. If they can't find the great stuff on the site--or if the layout bothers them--they'll click away and not come back.

Dear Elfwreck:
You are totally right. A good Search Engine is much more important! WHY? Because you can always add new content BUT if you make things awkward for customers you likely will not be able to correct it later and win them back.
This will have a good search engine. You can search under title or author for either Pay eBooks or Google Free Library. For example, if you want pay eBooks and do a search... it will ONLY search the Pay eBooks. There is also one button that brings up all bestsellers and nothing but the bestsellers. Likewise, if you want business eBooks you have that broken down still further in sub-categories. So, if you do not have a title in mind you can see the titles specific to the sub category you wish.
WHEN the announcement is made I will go over all of this. Rest assured we agree with your points!
