Really nice site, the interface looks really good and I'm very pleased to see the shipping price is also included in the listing.

#22Very snazzy - looking forward to HTTPS. :)
Book Depository is a weird thing; for a couple of years, I was unable to buy books there, because they had met some kind of weird quota for my country. Wonder what was up with that, but I assume it has to do with some tax-dodging deal in Jersey or wherever they're based.

#23Another great alternative for this is booko.com.au.

#24Great work.Would be cool if it shows ebook prices too when I do the search.

#25Why doesn't this do used books? Why no alibris? Most books I do end up purchasing are not new. This site wouldn't be of immediate use to me.

Book Depository used to have, for some books, much better deals than Amazon. Then it got bought by Amazon, and prices are pretty much equivalent now.

#27This is nice. Some years ago, I used a site called "bestbookdeal" that did pretty much the same thing.
One improvement that I would very much like to see is the ability to search for a set of books at once.

#28What is the benefit of searching five different national versions of Amazon?
One narrow use case would be textbook shopping. I don't understand the underlying reasons, but the prices of textbooks between e.g. Canada and the UK can be substantial, and more than enough to justify shipping overseas.

#29Sweet, I'll use your website next time. :-)
Thanks, and as Borat says, "big success"!

#30Is there a reason why Barnes and Noble prices aren't included in the comparison?
