People asking "Where can I buy your books?"

What on earth do they mean by that?

Where do we usually buy books, folks?

This is particularly annoying in the age of internet, where, even when they're self-published, the answer is always "Amazon."

Amazon's front page and interface have become unnavigable for anyone not an expert in Internet web page elaboration. It needs to be simplified, possibly to a Google-like one-line search box. Last month I tried to walk a novice through an Amazon order and it was impossible---there was too much extraneous, too much irrelevant, and too many things to explain.

And don't get me going on accessibility for the visually disabled...at Amazon and everywhere else...
