I usually want to search only those fields never the book contents before even opening it (when I can use search in the book)
I want to hold most/all of my library on kindle so I can re read when I want or read any book I get the urge without needing to plug it in PC. This means a lot of books are searched and it takes a while. To look up a title/author... Seems easier to sort and go to author or title if you know it, instead of searching. I'd prefer a quick search to find a book.
Also try searching book contents for a word which has very common similar form and again you will fail. It not only finds partial matches, it even takes a way the letters/modifies the search word to give you a bunch of results you don't need (search for running and you will get results with run too, dreaming>dream...). I actually contacted amazon about that. Maybe they will consider changing it or adding the option to search only title/author and search for exact match not similar. I know what I am looking for, don't mess with me like that amazon  |
