Today's Complaint :-)

Hello!

When I search for certain terms looking for specific books I get pages and pages of self published porn. Words like "Daddy" for example, looking for the Danielle Steele novel, throw up 1,000 titles such as "Whatever Daddy Wants (Daddy Sex Stories)" and "Teasing Daddy - His Stepdaughter's Naughty Plan."

I don't mind porn, people can read what they like. I probably don't want to scroll through to find out which of the 1000 + titles I get with that word are "safe", I don't want to explain why I am looking at that screen to my aging mother who struggles with technology at the best of times, and I don't want kids finding it by mistake, so I won't gift a kobo to an under 18. (Yes, I know they will go looking. Not the same as shoving it in their faces!)

Can you not have a default of "no erotica" or an option I can set on my search options?

Thanks,

Emmzzi


Will post reply when I get one :)

(p.s. I was not actually looking for Danielle Steele.)

p.s. I was not actually looking for Danielle Steele.

How disappointing :)

Eek! Thanks for the warning :)

I noticed that, but didn't have time to do anything about it. Thank you.

Although I think that after a brief obsessive curiosity around 18 months ago, my daughter has already switched off that kind of thing for now and just scrolls past.
