Thanks for this, it's turning out to be a really useful case study, working out why this is showing up wrong (quite complicated so I won't go into the gory details...).

I think I've figured it out and am currently running a script to clean out this problem and others like it. It'll probably be a day or two before I know for sure though.

I'll post again when I believe it's fixed.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll investigate.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, good idea.

I've actually just bought a Kindle, so will now have a better idea about what's useful for a Kindle user.

Rachel replied on January 21, 2010 00:41 to the question ""Inked" at Sony Store" in eBookPrice.Info:

Thanks for raising this. I'm doing a major cleanup of the data now, after a year of collecting book data, there's quite a few duplicates, variations on the names, etc.

Realistically, it's going to take a few weeks to sort it all out, but you should see an improvement real soon.

Thanks

I'll maybe think about an affiliate program sometime in the future, but there wouldn't be enough revenue to share right now :-)

but if you want to add a widget to your site to embed search in it, I can tell you how to do that; or any other ideas like that! – Rachel, on January 21, 2010 00:35

Rachel replied on January 21, 2010 00:33 to the question "Search at Books On Board" in eBookPrice.Info:

Hmm, how are you searching for it? It's showing up for me at BoB - ADE @ $7.19.

Hopefully any delays introduced by having to do screen scraping to get the BoB data will soon be a thing of the past, I should have an official data feed in the near future. Which will make life a whole lot easier :-)

Very useful, thanks! – Rachel, on January 21, 2010 00:27

Rachel replied on January 11, 2010 09:40 to the question ""Inked" at Sony Store" in eBookPrice.Info:

It's showing up now ($7.59). It looks as though the Sony store is being rather slow to respond to searches at the moment, though.

Rachel replied on January 11, 2010 09:37 to the question "Search at Books On Board" in eBookPrice.Info:

Yes, thanks. That was indeed the problem.

I've changed the display of the search results so if the exact matches are displayed ahead of the partial matches, so the Moira Rogers Crossroads now shows up in the results.

Thanks!

More suggestions please!

All the customer suggestions have been implemented, so I'd like some more please!

Please suggest book stores, features, or any other ideas...

Rachel replied on January 10, 2010 10:11 to the idea "support for shortcovers.com and diesel-ebooks.com" in eBookPrice.Info:

I've added support for ShortCovers (now Kobo).

There's also details of a 20% discount code for Kobo available through Jan 2010 at http://ebookprice.info/deals.html.

Rachel replied on January 10, 2010 10:08 to the question "Search at Books On Board" in eBookPrice.Info:

"Crossroads" is showing up now, so it wasn't a problem to do with being a pre-release. I'm not sure what the problem was.

If you have any other examples, please post them so I can investigate.

Thanks
Rachel

Rachel replied on January 10, 2010 09:58 to the question "ePub and ADE at Nook" in eBookPrice.Info:

I use PDF and ePub when I know for certain that these are the formats. But sometimes the book stores don't give enough information to distinguish, for example, they may only say "Adobe Digital Editions" or even just "Adobe". So in that case, that's what I use as the format.

Thanks for the question.
