Finding titles with available updates?

Fluribus · 11-07-2015, 03:15 AM

On the content management page at amazon.com, there had been an option to find the titles that had available updates. Now I can't find any way to do it. Scrolling through all titles to look for the update button is annoying. Is there a better way that I'm missing? I don't want to turn on automatic updates. I like to be able to keep my backups current.

On Amazon UK the "Items with available updates" option disappeared about a year ago, and it's a real nuisance if, like me, you have a large library. Sounds as if the same's now happened at amazon.com. I complained about it to Amazon, but got the usual "we'll pass your comments on to the development team" response and nothing changed.

I had hoped that it wouldn't happen over here, but suspected that it would.

Yeah, its gone in the US too. Used to be a useful drop down. I have a large library also and it would take forever to go through the whole list. I don't want to turn on auto update as I had had some bad experiences with authors changing a book.
I don't really like the new look for anything, this infinity scroll is horrible and on my netbook that static top covers a lot of screen area. I also miss the actual number of items that used to be there. Only way to see that now is from my Voyage looking at cloud.

I just basically now ignore the updates. If the book wasn't done right when I first got it, I don't care anymore after the fact, especially if I already read it. But at least before one could pull up the list and decide which one to update. Not a fan of the constant fiddling. Do it right the first time, or as much as you can. Can't fiddle with print books.
