I submitted this sometime ago when I first launched it, but it's recently undergone a fairly major redesign (basically a full rewrite of both the front- and backends).

I never heard of Book Depository before but it's cheaper than Amazon for most of the books on my wantlist. Neat! Thanks for posting.

You're welcome! The Book Depository was actually founded by some ex-Amazon employees. Amazon bought them a couple of years ago.

This is super. Simple, easy interface. Search results are presented very nicely: clear and easy to scan. Excellent work. Bookmarked!

Brilliant , i always do this manually. It would be better, at least for me , if you could add also amazon.es :-). Thank you.

there are 100s of such services out there (most query many more retailers to find the lowest price) + some offer API access so you can do revenue sharing.

the biggest player in the space is http://bigwords.com
