Guys, this is Amazon we’re talking about. Of course, they’ll screw it up.

I think it’s an awesome idea. Hope they can make it user-friendly.

Excellent idea. Will probably take some time to sort out the problems, but I can foresee it becoming great for authors and readers alike.

I’d love to be able to find a sorted bibliography, showing which books are part of which series and what order to read them in. I hate it when books don’t indicate that they’re part of a series, or tell you which book number they are. Sure, I can page through and note down publication dates, but I shouldn’t have to. [mutter]

All I know is, if they make it as ridiculously impossible to find these as they do to find and follow the discussion forums, there aren’t going to be a ton of customers reading them. Because, unless you participate in a specific discussion and mark the box to be notified, you’ll have a hell of a time finding it again because they change so quickly.

Right now, even when you do the Shop All Departments drop down, Author Store isn’t listed there.

*sigh*

Love/Hate…perfect description of my relationship with Amazon…

Oh, boy. I can just see Amazon inundated with self-published authors screaming about getting their own stores…
