@orlok - nice, simple and clean in concept, nicely done. With an RSS feed, so that could act as a source for a plugin... mmm... on my todo list to investigate further one day...

One problem I see is they don't (obviously at least) expose their internal data via an API, which is understandable. In other words each user would need to setup an account, use their website to add authors to their list, and only then be able to use that list as input for a calibre plugin to allow creating empty books etc.

Another problem is that from a very quick look they are only interested in telling you about "new or very recently released stuff", so it isn't going to help someone get "up to date" with what they are missing.

Still, for those of us who have got all the books to date of interest for an author and are itching to know when more are available, that sort of concept is very cool.
