I always use the advanced search first time, seems to remember the settings for the rest of the session then.

Here's something revealing:
The US Amazon.com price on Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" is $7.59. When I go to BOB and click on the "buy for Kindle" button, I'm redirected to US Amazon.com and the price is $6.99. Apparently Amazon is punishing its own customers for shopping from Amazon first, but rewarding people who shop around to compare prices, and who are then redirected to their own website. This is good to know, and I'm going to start making even more use of the Calibre compare prices function. |

I had to google this, as I totally missed that Calibre had added it. Looks like a really great feature!

It's called "Get Books".
Look for the blue* icon with the globe in the top of your screen (I'm using Mac, YMMV). *blue, not blue-green. Last edited by robbw; 09-11-2012 at 04:38 PM. |

It seems the retailers are staying within the 30% commission.
To be honest, it now will take me longer to shop as I have to calculate which site is cheaper. There may be sales, discount coupons and codes, store rebates, credit card rebates, formats, and ease of purchase to factor in. |

BTW, the book I bought (Chabon's Telegraph Avenue) was $9.xx yesterday, and is $13.xx today. It was not available in Canada at the time. Amazon, yesterday, was charging $16.xx for the kindle edition in the states. |
