Well, they aren't doing a very good job as a bookstore lately.

I think they've been doing some fiddling in their core areas. I had a long list of books that I put in my shopping cart last week. I went to finalize it today, and - poof - all gone!

I'm also finding that a sort on publication date just plain doesn't work. It did last week.

Edit: this probably DOES have something to do with the A9 update. I noticed "Search Powered by A9" on the search results. Duh! Of course, they would use A9 for their on-site search. (Not something I've noticed or cared about in the past.)

They've totally hosed their core functionality. Off to give Bookpool another shot. They were pretty good for a while, but then their prices started edging up.

If they indeed dropped everybody's shopping cart in the process, wonder what the one-quarter effect is on the bottom line?
