The few books I buy on the device are because I am after something specific, such as the next in a series. And I don't browse the store on the device. Honestly, I would rarely page that far through search results as if I hadn't found what I wanted in the first few pages, I would change the search terms. With my quick test, it seemed to work, but, started to go wrong at about page 8. But, have you reported the above bug? Maybe Kobo haven't realised it is a problem. The way for a company to make money is to write buggy software. Which is why the apps might be a little bit, dare i say buggy…. Kobo just wants you to spend money like any other company. If I filter price from low to high, I get some free, 89 cent, and also $125 books mixed in on the first search page.
