Wherever possible we try to do an ISBN search but in this case you're right the titles got mismatched. I'll fix it and report back to you. Thanks for the catch.

I agree we should put links to the actual stores -- we'll add that in. Thanks for the suggestion. Yes the Ringworld lookup is a bug. I'm going to fix it and let you know when we have. Thank you for finding this (And troubleshooting it).
Another strange case is Double Star, which is published by FictionWise but is only listed as available on the Kindle. This is a case of FictionWise not providing their multi-format titles explicitly on B&N or Sony sites (which is very strange in the case of B&N, which owns FictionWise).

Yes we need to add more stores in our search. Right now we're only doing the main ones associated with the specific eReaders. We will work on it.
Thanks for the suggestions!
