And this is why it is probably best to not give in to the temptation to use granular genre headings. I personally find it less annoying to wade through a large number of titles than to find, for example, Melisa Michael's excellent Rosie Lavine books in fantasy when I think they belong in mystery.
All this aside, what I'd really, really love would be a notification system, so I could sign up and all new e-books by a specific author would trigger an e-mail with a link to where I could buy it. Bonus points if I could specify that the e-mail not go out until a certain price was reached. (I'd love this for subject, too, but, for all the reasons given in this thread, it is probably best not to go there and to simply allow a pub year sort on the website).
