#22Pretty helpful! I would probably use this if there was an option for audiobooks.

#23Love the cheeky jab at George R.R. Martin, the site works fantastically, though as others have mentioned an ISBN search would make the entire workflow miles more efficient.

https://www.libraryextension.com/ is a browser extension which tells you if a book you're browsing on Amazon is available in your local library.

I've got filters in the works, audiobooks is a great one I'll be sure to throw that in. I'm aiming to have those live within the next week.

#28Really cool, how are you planning to monetize? Have you considered just allowing people to purchase on your site?

Thanks! The immediate monetization is through affiliate linking to the various book sites that are aggregated. Letting people buy through the site would make for much better UX so that is certainly part of the plan.

#30While not the most modern UI in the world, addall.com has been around forever and still does the trick well enough for me. Although these days I usually just go straight to thriftbooks because I save money there with the free shipping (on $15 orders) and in the long run for sure with all their perks.
