Thank you for pointing this out! I haven’t yet run into this problem, but it is likely because I don’t spend much time browsing. I usually know what I want to read and search for those books specifically, then I just choose from my saved lists. My kids are also still fairly young and don’t use technology on their own, but I will keep this in mind as they get older!

There are no parental filters. I had to cancel our account because of the aggressive pornographic suggestions of books to read. In spite of the “Books you have Read/Saved” section containly entirely children’s and middle grade fiction, the “Recommended Books” and “Recommended Documents” was just full of graphic pornography.

That is great to know! I have been using it for so long and haven’t run across this problem yet, probably because I tend to listen to mostly children’s books and non-fiction, but now I know I shouldn’t just let my kids search for a book on their own!

It is easy to find porn there. And when an erotica title popped up today there was no way of blocking it. Could you please update your CONS list to say, no filters.
