I'm still boggling. You can read about the fucked-uppedness that is Amazon.com unranking and disappearing GLBT romance and YA books, on [livejournal.com profile] markprobst 's LJ, here, and ongoing links are being updated at the [livejournal.com profile] meta_writer  community, here.

Once I wrote to a friend "There is no bottom to the pit of stupidity, because whenever someone reaches it, he grabs a shovel and starts digging."
The speculation that they bought the filter from a third party and don't really know how it works seems plausible. Their search function has always sucked so badly that I always search through bookfinder.com first. So I don't count Amazon as the most tech-capable company around.
I'll complain on Tues. from my work email. Since I buy books as my actual job, it might give more weight.

Hahaha!

That's VERY clever. XD

Thanks! I just wish it weren't so regularly shown to be true.
I'm going to buzz over the book forums on ABE (now owned by Amazon) and see if anyone has useful info.
