You can also refine the searches by playing with some of the other fields. For example, adding &node=157305011 gives mysteries, 158566011 is romance, 157325011 is non-fiction, etc. Those are the only three I know right now...I'm sure other folks know other nodes, like sci-fi...

You can also search, for example, for the classics, which mostly have (Enriched Classics) in the title by adding &title=classics to the search.

So a little creativity can help knock down the hundreds of titles to something manageable.
&node= didn't work for me, or at least it didn't narrow the list down. However, it did cause the sidebar to show a list of categories for drilling down into. To simplify things for everyone else:
It'll also let you drill down into sub-categories after you follow any of the above links.

Too bad almost every book is in almost every category.

In the time it takes to read one book I accumulate 25 more. I'm drowning in ebooks. To make matters worse, I also record TV shows faster than I can watch, so every day I fall farther behind on those too.

That is really bizarre, because it definitely works for me. If I take @keithdt's link from the first post (the general one, not the non-fiction one), and add &node=157305011 at the end, it goes from showing me more than 2,000 S&S titles (you can see this up in the upper left corner of the page) to 399 titles, and it adds the category "Kindle eBooks : Mystery, Thriller & Suspense" in burnt orange text. See the attached screenshots of before and after, with URL, and search results in upper left-ish.

Now, it's still true that, as @j.p.s says up above, the assignment of books to genres can sometimes be sort of off, but at least it can be a bit of help when staring at a few thousand search results ...

Odd that it's not working for you - and funny that it doesn't cause the sidebar to show up for me. But, anyway, glad it somehow helped you sort!

According to Robert Nagle over at Teleread, Simon and Schuster has been having 99 cent sales at Amazon and Kobo for a while now, starting on Tuesday morning and ending on Monday night. I've modified Avice's links for them.

I don't know how I wound up on this old thread . . . .

Anyway, I noticed that on numerous Simon & Schuster landing and/or splash pages that they are offering a free ebook to a person who signs up for one or more of their mailing lists.

I want to be on another mailing list like I want . . . a colonoscopy. But when something is offered for free, I lose all self-control.

I checked my email to see what they're offering me. Wouldn't you know that fiction books are all that they're offering? It seems like there was about 6 choices.

There was something about S&S having some 99 cent books that I saw on two or three of their webpages (at least one of them was at the very top of the page). I'm going to check into that.

Okay. At least one way to find at least some of S&S's 99-cent books is to go to Kobo's website (for some reason, it seems easier to sort things by price there).

Linky.
