better handling of voumes in series
The Market search is pulling up new volumes in a series just fine, but then is treating them as duplicates--both in the search results and at ordering. Different volumes in a series are not duplicates.
So far, what I'm seeing is that while the series is noted in the Details area, the volume number is not--only in the Description.
The volume number should be front and center on series. It not being made more clear is confusing from the selector's point of view (and I'm a former Serials librarian, so not like this is new to me!) and the duplicate notation at ordering leads to more steps for the person reviewing/placing the orders.

I would add, from the things I've seen so far in trying to handle our graphic novel collection (which has a lot of "this book is part of a series" issues):
-Being able to view which other items from a series are already owned (I have a "library activity" badge but have to click in a few levels to see which volumes we already have if they didn't come from Rialto)
-Being able to browse by series title (some sort of clustering function to see items from the same series together with their status in regards to existing items in our collection)
