Simon,

It's always good to see another source for ebooks. Thanks for telling us about it.

My first impression is that your site is nice and clean -- clearly laid out, not cluttered, not bogged down with annoying animations or other distractions.

However, I would make a number of criticisms in matters of detail (nothing drastic, I hope).

1. There doesn't seem to be any way to filter your browing by format. This is a key point. I like to browse by category, but I am not interested in seeing titles that are only offered in formats that my reading device doesn't support.

2. On a quick browse, I couldn't find any information about DRM. Another important point.

3. The subject list (down the left-hand side) has some minor inconsistencies. For example, if you select Crime & Thriller, you don't see any crime novels or thrillers; your only option is to go to True Crime. To get to Crime & Mystery, or Thriller / Suspense, you have to drill down into Fiction. Similarly, Food & Drink doesn't take you to books on food or drink in general, but to one of nine more specialised categories.

No doubt other points will emerge. I hope you accept these as constructive criticisms, and continue to develop what I'm sure will be a useful site.
