Navigating the E-Books Collection
Any tips? I'm about to turn my back on commercial e-books, and start sampling all that's available here. I see GENRE tags; can I search by Genre?

Ideally I want an advanced search, where I can choose Format, Genre, Author, etc. If that's already available, I apologize. I'll investigate the Search features some more.

Doing an Advanced Search in the BBeB/LRF section of E-Book Uploads for posts tagged "science fiction" only brings up a single entry. What am I doing wrong?

Genre and tags are new features, so they might not be implemented on all books yet. i recommend you start by browsing randomly, like by date or alphabetically by author... don't miss the e-books index, it will help you find things as well, and you can sort by column headings.

hum... don't start with preconceptions about what you're looking for, just see what you find.

ZP, I love poking around in the dark, truly I do. Some delightful things can happen. But sometimes I'm in the mood for something in particular, you know?

heh... well in that case, index, column sorting and search feature are your friends.

I'm taking ALL of your advice, have made about 10 downloads, and so should be set for awhile. I'm in for some barsoomy, anarchistic, haiku fun.

wow, only 10 ? i'm impressed by your self-restraint. (and it sounds like we'll be having similar fun in the next few days)

Hi Taylor!

Unfortunately we began only recently tagging uploaded e-books with genres. Most older e-book uploads don't have a genre tag yet. We hope we'll catch up with this soon.
