It seems that many of the fiction books (I didn't look for non-fiction) are only searchable by title, not by author. I found Martha Grimes titles Foul Matter, The Blue Last, The Lamorna Wink, and The Grave Maurice but only by putting in the title.

I had noticed this earlier when I was comparison shopping for S.M. Stirling's "Change" novels. None of his titles came up when I put Stirling in the search field, but most did come up if I knew the name of the book.

If I can't find a book by the author's name I'm more likely to stick with Kobo and Sony, which do have them cross-indexed by author.
