(Now, a date-centric search would probably be more useful when it comes to handling issues with orders, but Warehouse 23 has to function as both an ordering/customer service system and a library, which are not necessarily served by the same kinds of organization).

This. The first thing I noticed when I logged in was "where is the place I look for ALL my books, sorted by title??" Aka:
https://www.warehouse23.com/account/downloads -- having to look for things by-date-purchased will make me
*scream* when I'm trying to grab something onto my phone or ipad or a different computer... (I have two computers I use semi-frequently, one that I use rarely, and one that I may use in the future. Yes, my Apple ID is full of computers.)
I also miss the functionality of "you already own this" notations! (A button for "you own this; view/download now" on the page itself might help slightly with the "sort by title" issue, but...) Without an indication of prior ownership, I would also be concerned that there will be a lot of "yoinked income" issues where people discover they
did purchase something previously and request reimbursement for the duplicate file. (Which will also become a Customer Support issue.)
I have not tried to double-purchase something yet to see if the code will stop me, because I'm a little short on funds right now -- but from a customer experience standpoint, that's not a great place to find out that you already own something.
