Adventures in aStores

I'm hardly qualified to write a "how-to" on Amazon.com's new aStore features, but I am working with the system, and I'm discovering some undocumented "features."

First, it seems that the search function for aStores is not enabled if your top-level category consists of hand-selected products. My first aStore is an exception to this rule, so I could be wrong, but stores I've been setting up lately seem to work this way.

I've also discovered that (not too surprisingly) removing a category also removes its child categories (at least from the navigation), so be VERY careful about that! There seems to be no way to restore the categories nor to remove them altogether.

Check out these disturbing examples:
