it’s 2020 and i still have to google “wimsey series in order” bc the kindle won’t give me the next one (which i own), and also shortens the book titles for aEsTheTiCs so i can’t see the numbers. design.

kindle also doesn’t understand that people re-read books. or let you browse by author. or even amazon’s own categories. bc why? why exert any effort at all into your product? just slap a shitty list on it, it’s fine

there’s no way to see your kindle reading history (we know they already track it, they hide it from us) no way to say “give me a list of books i haven’t read yet” no way to create a reading list or lay out a few titles “on deck” honestly kindle is a piece of shit

i agree. the people who work on kindle must either be A) held hostage against their will, or B) people who literally never readhttps://twitter.com/patio11/status/1213179823280910336?s=21 …

Patrick McKenzie @patio11The Kindle is the worst designed product that I can’t live without, and I have often thought that it was made in a vaccuum by people who, and I do not mean this as a judgment I mean it as description, do not read books. https://twitter.com/amyhoy/status/1213178482567475200 …Show this thread4 replies 10 retweets 99 likesShow this thread -

no — these decisions aren’t made for monetizafion. they’re sheer incompetence. if it was for profit, they’d suggest the next damn book to buy! they still don’t! (theoretically this feature exists but mostly doesn’t work!)https://twitter.com/joshsusser/status/1213180385934241792?s=21 …

I have an elaborate system across google spreadsheet and trello for this! I curse it every time I open it cause it's so unwieldy. Still it's SO MUCH better than nothing. I can't even imagine how useful good software would be.
