I really enjoyed The Cybernetic Tea Shop, Meredith Katz.
It's a sweet story and no sweaty passages. |

Sweaty passages per se don't bother me - I'd just like to have an occasional protagonist who is not interested in sex and romance at all. If they're interested, then it makes no difference to me whether it's a "clean" romance or a smutty one.

No, Audible, I’m not going to pay for an audiobook narrated by “Virtual Voice”. I’m not even going to listen to one for free with Audible Plus. So how about letting us filter them out from browsing/searching results?

I just had a look at Audible US and UK. There is no virtual voice in the UK (yet).

Writing of search filters: Why not by language? Also Kindle Only search for books from an author doesn't give all the titles, yet has multiple languages. Why is default always Most Popular or Featured? Also I don't want to know things (not just Kindle) are "Best Sellers" or "Amazon Recommended" or whatever. Creates unfair positive feed back loops because it does affect people's choice. KU price more prominent is wrong, |

I don't see that on Amazon UK Kindle searches. Where?
Also stuff comes up in Search and then on the page "Change your Location / Doesn't ship to Ireland" Not much good for physical items. On Amazon Germany/DE I can select English for the site. Often for non-Kindle content the DE "works" better for Ireland than UK, but can't be used for Kindle. |

I never look at most popular selections. I have never been a part of most popular anything.
