One of the common complaints I’ve seen in the reviews is the difficulty of finding books in on-line stores.  The iBookstore, in its current version is no different.  I have seven novels in the listings, but that’s just 7 out of 78,264 at the current moment in time.  Even using the categories, “Children and Teens” or “Sci-Fi and Fantasy” won’t ever get you to a list where you can see my books.  <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
You have to know what you want before you can find it.  Search for “Henry Melton” and you’ll get the listing in the image.  Certainly I recommend that for everyone who has an iPad, but I still won’t be able to catch the book browsers.  Apple needs to improve their bookstore capabilities.  The big publishers manage to get into the “Featured” lists, but I don’t expect independents like me to make the grade unless we’re already selling large numbers.<\/div>\n

So do me a favor, and buy my books.  <\/div>\n
