How to search eBooks on Amazon
Is there a way to search Amazon's books so we do not get results showing the public domain books and the DTP books? It seems there are an awful lot of them and I really don't want to see them in the results.

Put -domain in the search box. Works fairly well (though not perfectly).

Will putting -domain int he search box also filter out the DTP upload eBooks? I want them filtered as well.

AFAIK, Jon, all Kindle books are Sold by: Amazon Digital Services. You're going to have a pretty short list if you filter those out of your search results
