I will 100% use the Sources page to find the book I want, click through the contents page to the introduction which takes me to the page where I can buy that product.
I posted a thread about this not too long ago noting the store UI is awful: so I'll just re-list what I said there:
- Most of the page is eaten up by cover art so there's only 3 items per row that you have to scroll down past; and there's no option for a condensed or list view - The categories of "rule books", "rules expansions", "campaign settings" and "adventures" are extremely broad, and I can think of a number of books that could arguably be placed into multiple. - There's two different ways to access each of those categories from the same menu bar - There's zero indication of whether or not you already own a given peice of content without clicking on the "quick view" individually; repeat for an entire page - Despite the site OBVIOUSLY having a flag for things you already own; there's no way to show/hide/filter those items - Likewise; there's no easy way to tell what you might well be buying in said content without going to the page directly; which is one other way to see if you own it... in the smallest font on the screen - Likewise: if you wanted to sort products by contents: spells, species etc., no such luck - If a product has multiple options (Digital, physical, or both); the site defaults to the most expensive one, IE: both - The "everything else" section only allows sorting via publisher and "digital" and "physical": no categories of any sort... and most of its first page is full of content for the functionally dead Sigil - And of course; no a la carte purchasing... unless a part of something is cut out and sold on its own - That's not even touching on the nonsensical system that is now used to access "free content" through the store; requiring you to check out with a payment method anyway. - The check-out system still doesn't save non-US addresses correctly,s o that's been broken since the store front launched - The Paypal option appears to also be broken currently
I believe I described this store front as a "miserable experience" to actually use.
If you are looking for something specific; it is unironically faster to find it elsewhere on dndbeyond and follow the link to the correct item that way.

The current way its set up is very user unfriendly, It is impossible to find any of the 3rd party stuff without navigating the entire thing.
The layout is unintuitive and clunky, taking a page out of any other webstore will make it infinitely better.
I want to buy your product make it easy for anyone to buy it.
