#14Bookmarked, pun intended.
I am a writer and I love books, but I just don't want to work with Amazon or give them money for reasons that go beyond the scope of this post.
This is exactly the kind of tool I need to fill my shelves with great books without having to deal with Amazon. Very clean and efficient software that serves a useful purpose, it is deserving of success.

#15Would be nice to search by ISBN. I tried some titles and didn’t get the right matches

Thanks! If you have any feedback or criticisms at any point please let me know. I've got a feedback box on the site as well.

I see the problem, I'll have a fix out for this within the next day

#19https://booko.com.au/ is a great example of this. You search the title first, then you can select the concrete book/edition on the next page, then a nice list of options.
Booko is fantastic, I just find their service a little lacking outside of Australia.
It is good but almost every time it ends up directing me to AbeBooks (now owned by Amazon) but on arrival they've come from "World of Books" - the postage invariably being 3 times the price of the actual book. Though it did just find "How the world really works" (V. Smil - actually there are a number of books with the same title) via a local distributor who had a free delivery promo on.
