Kobo Desktop future version request

bartveld · 11-29-2012, 06:52 AM

After an arduous correspondence with Support I found out that it's impossible to add a book to your Wishlist from the Search Results screen. I think that's silly. You can only hover over a book and "pin" it in the Recommendations row, but those are never the books I want.
So I do a search for a particular book, find it and then want to add it to my Wishlist. Not possible. I have a long Wishlist at Amazon, which I wanted to transfer to Kobo, but no... It seems such a logical and not too difficult to implement option.

On a sidenote, for testing purposes I searched numerous times for one particular book. Knowing Amazon, it would immediately have popped up in the Recommendations. Kobo doesn't seem to have such a Big Brother algorithm. I ran through the "tell us what you like-routine", but that didn't work for me (they only showed books I didn't like). I suppose they won't be able to recommend anything useful until I've bought some books.

After my experiences with Kobo Support I don't count on anything anymore...
