This is amazing to me, for the company whose name is synonymous with Internet search engine. But not all tech companies which have a great capability in one area have it in another. Take, for example Microsoft. It gave us the state of the art office suite; but it also gave us Bing.

I suspect their focus on search is the problem. It works fine if you
search for a particular author or book. If you want to
browse, it's hideous. Seems like someone's been thinking "people will only want to search for books" and designed it accordingly.
The problem for them is search isn't always the answer, especially for any kind of shopping. A lot of times people want to browse to find something interesting.
