Niiiice. I especially like the quotes. Thank you for the work involved.

Some searches don't seem to return the best price from a site.

Example: Vince Flynn, Term Limits.

Amazon has it for Kindle for $6.39 on their site, but your search does not come back with this result.

Edit: To elaborate more completely, the cheapest price it is returning from Amazon for this book is $9.59, whereas the actual lowest Amazon price comes in lower than the lowest reported price of any site, which is $6.99 according to the search.
Just checking Vince Flynn books, this seems to be a fairly common issue with Amazon prices.

I have no criticism or problems with your efforts so far. It is an excellent and useful tool, and has certainly saved me a great deal of time and wasted effort already.

Good luck and I wish I had the ability to contribute something to assist others.

Thanks for your information, it's very helpful for me to find the bug.
It's fixed now.

Thanks for this - really useful - saved me a few quid!

Handy! Thank you.

MetaEbooks, thank you for this very good search engine, one suggestion though.

Would it be possible to have the free ebooks ordered by date added, instead of alphabetically. It would be easier to see if there is something new.

Rootman · 11-12-2009, 11:44 AM

Cool, thanks!

Diesel ebooks and Waterstones were added.

Brilliant site... I've been looking for something like this for some time.

One thing I noticed... I did a search for "Old Man's War" with author field filled with "John Scalzi". I got the expected search results, but Diesel ebooks didn't get a hit. They're not the cheapest, but I would still expect them to be listed? (Diesel ebooks is good for us aussies as they don't appear to have many geographically restricted ebooks).

Apart from that... excellent

mukoan,

Thanks for your information, I have tried to contact diesel books about this problem.
Hopefully they can fix it as soon as possible.

twaits,

Thanks for your suggestion. I will list deal found in last 7 days.

--abc-- · 11-16-2009, 02:08 AM

This seems to be a small bug: Even if I untick "HTML" I still get all results including HTML. Example:

http://ebooks.addall.com/Search/Refi...rr=USD&match=Y

But nevertheless, thanks for the great site!

I saw the links for the free ebooks at Sony, Amazon and eHarlequin, but I can't find a way to search for free ebooks at other sites.
Is it possible (currently or in the future) to include some criteria about price in the search ?

tzn22 · 12-07-2009, 03:01 PM

I noticed that Shortcovers and CoolerEbooks are missing from the list of stores. It would be great if they can be added.
