Add "Exclude titles already owned" from GOBI Add titles by ISBN search

Add a checkbox to "Exclude titles already acquired or on order" from GOBI's "Add titles by ISBN" search. This function is extremely useful in the similar Alternate Formats search. Having it available in Add Titles by ISBN would allow my library to...

Allow current List Price default view to change to my country's currency

I'm from Canada but all the prices display for me in USD by default. I'd like this to change, either automatically by GOBI recognizing my country based on my profile, or by me selecting it in my preferences. This would be a huge time-saver.

Rethink presentation of information

ALL CAPS is hard to read on a screen. The variety of typefaces, capitalizations, and colors creates visual clutter. The three views of results show respectively too little, too much, and way too much information for most of my selection decisions....

Remove perpetual purchases from DDA pool automatically

If we purchase an ebook perpetually, we would like it removed from our DDA pool to prevent paying for the same item twice. Currently we do this manually. It would be great if GOBI could identify and remove these automatically
