Jon, outpost19 looks extremely interesting, and while it is at the other end of the spectrum from Inkmesh, we agree that both kinds of services are equally important. Thank you for your support.
Jason, we saw the comments on our own feedback forum as well. Alerting would be a great addition, and we will give it high priority when we introduce user registrations. As for physical book links, I am surprised more people haven't asked for them yet, because we think it would be useful to have physical book results not just for comparison, but also when a title is not available as an ebook. We are thinking through this one, but we'll definitely figure it out.
unicorn23, thank you. I think it's harder for a lot of big companies to be as responsive and involved in the user community because of the number of layers between developers and end users. Fortunately, there's just two of us here at Inkmesh. We're both developers, and we're both Inkmesh users too!
José Pinto, you are very welcome, and thank you for the site links. We will check them out. Regarding Baen ARCs, I can see how most readers might not want to see ARCs, but we chose not to make that decision for users; we index everything we find in the Webscriptions catalog. As for monetization, we truly appreciate your asking, but we don't plan to ask for donations. We do use affiliate links on some of the sites we index, but we suspect at some point we will have to generate revenue through other means to sustain development. We have a few ideas, but fortunately right now we can afford to push them out a few months and focus all our energy on making Inkmesh more useful.
CharlieBird, thank you! We're glad you find Inkmesh useful. Regarding the missing ebooks from Fictionwise - we would really appreciate it if you could drop us an email (team@inkmesh.com) with the titles. We will get back to you as soon as we figure out why they are missing from our index.
