So you're saying that people download both versions, compare them, and then redownload the better version?
Compare them and share a link to the version that worked.
I don't think there's evidence that most people do that.
What do you propose here?
That when there's multiple copies of a book, PG should list the new one first.
Should PG stop offering the "most popular" category just because the most popular books were not produced by David Starner?
You remember "Hand Shadows to Be Thrown upon the Wall"? Yeah baby, all mine. (Okay, with a little help from Heather Martino.) Which, I will note, shows that what people want is not necessarily the "Most Important" books.
Every new book gets a tremendous boost, being posted on Facebook, Twitter and the "recent" RSS feed at PG. Also there is a "recent" category that people can select while searching.
If your new book can't overcome some older edition in spite of that big boost, then obviously there's something wrong with it.
Obviously. There's no chance you're letting your biases dictate your interpretation of the evidence. -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero.
