Thank god. Their website is so bad that it’s almost like they are trying not to sells books.

Last week I had a gift card for BN that I needed to use, and tried to buy an audiobook on bn.com from my iPhone. It was damn near impossible to find anything and I still don’t know how to search for an audiobook.

Such a shame, as I used to love their physical stores.

Hopefully these folks will do a much better job.

Yes, but let’s say you’re a George Soros fan and want to buy one of his audio books. So you do a search for “Alchemy of Finance audiobook” and the result you get is this [1].

Now here’s the kicker - it’s out of stock. WTF !?!

Maybe some online publishing license has to be renewed?

And their SEO is terrible. You have to go to google and add the domain to any query to find a book on their site.
