It's corrected, thanks.

Metaebooks,

Nice looking site. You should strongly consider reaching out to these retailers before screen scraping their content.

I would prefer you use a datafeed from us. Contact me through our customer support system and I'll help you out.

This way you can make sure to update prices frequently and also make sure you capture the site appropriately. We have a different structure than most as we try to have "one price" for as many titles as possible. Again, this is a recent change.

I look forward to working with you and congrats on your site!

I was hoping for a more insightful answer. Well, I am sure you don't mind if I get in contact with these ebook vendors directly and ask them if I (as I am also interested in a similar business) can have the same access to their data as you do.

Update: Given Clint Brauer's reply it's probably more likely that you are scraping the sites as I asked in my initial post.

If you can't exclude audio books, it isn't useful to me.

Now you can exclude any format before and/or after the search.

MetaBooks,

I see you've acted on my suggestion for separate filters for vendor and format. Thanks for responding so quickly. It's a big improvement.

Great Site. Thanks a bunch. This will save LOTS of time.

Thanks.

Now you can search by either paper book or ebook isbn.
If you know a paper book isbn, you can use it to search for ebook.
