Here's a bug report...There's a book available on Amazon both as a Kindle book and hardcover titled "Dragonheart: Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern".
The Kindlemart search didn't find it...neither did it find it when I searched for "Dragonheart" or "dragonriders".

I also searched using the ISBN number from the hardcover, both the ISBN-10 and the ISBN-13 numbers. No results. BTW, which does the Kindlemart search use both the 10 and 13 digit versions?

That's mostly bug #1.

Bug #2
On searching for "dragonriders", it found the book titled "Dragonriders of Pern", and listed it as being out of stock, which didn't make sense to me. When I went to Amazon to find it via the link provided in the Kindlemart search results, the page said that it was "Not yet available", which is rather different from being out of stock.

So....maybe the search results could reflect that status more accurately?

Thanks for this! I haven't used it successfully to find anything yet, but it sounds like it should be awesome!
