Multiple authors who share the same name really messes up searches.

Authors who use the same book title as an already existing book title by another author. Just pick an original title.

But my peeve is when a book is reissued and they drop (or add) the middle initial. Now {Series} is a real pain. Using {Authors} as a tie breaker does not always work (a Universe where many play). I resorted to adding The initials of the initial author to the series name 'Duplicate name (JB)' |

I believe a lot of people bought the wrong author of "The Girl on the Train", or whatever it is called. Some quite high profile authors have similar titles, "Magician". Also there are similar titles "The <insert occupation>'s Daughter" |

Maybe the people who say that the Discworld can only be read in published order (for the first read through) are the liars.

As they make the interfaces more like phones/tablets then they need the sceen to update more often. Kindles used to page through the library, now they scroll, which means they need to update constantly as you move your finger. It's just a bad use of the technology. |
