GA Russell - Thank you. We wanted to prevent cluttering up the UI with devices that didn't have a considerable market share. Is there a particular device you want to see in addition to the ones on there already?

hike_gc - thank you!

SDRebel, publication date sounds like a useful feature. A lot of the sites we index don't give us the publication date, but we'll start thinking about how to get it and add sorting on it.

Deb - glad you found so many ebooks you liked. More are on the way! We don't have ebooks from Diesel so far, but they're on our list of sites to index.

Darqref, being able to sort by date added to Inkmesh would be very useful in finding new books, we agree. More books per page would also be useful, we will definitely add it when we add user registrations. Till then, if you use Firefox, you can try this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4925 - after setting it up, this will automatically load the next page for you for most sites with pagination. Regarding your goals for Inkmesh (1) yes, we want to build a better mobile version of Inkmesh at some point. Title and author searches will always work, but we will think about how to make the search process even faster. (2) bmd and I are discussing the new ebooks strategy - it's sorely needed. (3) a recommendation engine is on our long term goals as well, so I'm glad to see our goals for Inkmesh are in sync with yours! The search exclusion feature sounds interesting, we will discuss it.

pthwaite, we agree date based sorting would be a very useful addition. We will be spending time on this one soon.

orwell2k, thank you, we love all our users too!

We agree - audiobooks are great, but they don't quite fall into the same category as ebooks.

Seventh Son, as you can tell by the comments here and on the feedback forum on the site, country based filtering is one of the most requested feature additions, so we're definitely going to do something about it.

Sparrow, thank you for your feedback. We try to show everything that's relevant to the query so people can find things they might not know about, but we always sort results based on the degree of relevance. Given this, can you elaborate on how you would want to refine searches like Armadale?

kennyc, you're welcome!

fbrII, thank you. We read ebooks from all those publishers ourselves; it's only a matter of time before you start seeing their results on Inkmesh.

Peadar, I am glad your book is on our site; for everyone else, here is the link! http://www.inkmesh.com/ebooks/the-in...-guilin-ebook/

Mr. Goodbar, thank you.

Mare of Earth, you're welcome!

igorsk, all sites noted, thank you.

The feedback here on MobileRead has exceeded all our expectations - it's exciting, humbling and extremely encouraging. Thank you all; we are committed to making Inkmesh much more useful for all of you.
