The most visible change is to our search results for books. For most books a "Show other editions" link now appears on the right. This allows you to see all the various editions of a book. For example, paperback or audio CD versions. Hopefully, this will let you find just the copy you are looking for.
The second improvement we've made is to "Release Date" alerts. With Release Date alerts, you set up a reminder for when a new item is released. Up to today, you would simply get a reminder on the release date that was scheduled when you set up the alert. The only issue was, what if this date changed in the meantime? Most don't, but a few do. We now keep track of the release date for you, so you get the reminder on whatever date the item comes out.
Lastly, we made some tweaks to our Search alerts, to improve alerts that match books by a particular author, or movies by a particular director etc.
As always, feedback is very welcome. We are always striving to make our alerts and the site more useful. Let us know if there are any new features or alerts you would like to see. Thanks and have a happy New Year.
