   That's why I think it will be good to have both options, people who prefer sites can use the site as is, if you prefer to download extensions and forget about sites then that option will also exist.

   Thanks for your comment, all of that is certainly true. I'm thinking through a solution that would likely come in the form of certain filters on the site. I'd try to get your region as accurately as possible or ask for input, and

   Sounds like some really cool functionality, I'll take a look and see what I can implement to help people better support local bookstores

   Thanks for this. An extension is the next major step for this product. Your tool looks really good.

   Haven't heard of that one, thanks for the info I'll check it out. I do have thriftbooks results listed on the site as well.

    If the site also parsed local bookstores (the ones that put their catalogues online) and allowed you to filter for local bookstores, is that something that you would find useful?

    Sorry for the confusion, the site hasn't been optimized outside of the USA yet, so some of your results may be a slightly off in terms of pricing and delivery times. Working on improving that as we speak but I have to go country by cou

    What do you look for in a bookstore that makes them more responsible (apart from no Amazon) ?

    The prices on Pages on Pages include shipping costs, I probably should be more clear about that on the page itself. Thanks :)

    Thanks for this I just gave it a read. Sounds like you had quite the experience. I'll be sure to watch my scrapers closely, seems I may need to update them more often than I'd like.

    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.

    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.

    Looks like pi-hole only looks at the base domain which breaks most of the affiliate links on the site, I'll see if I can find a workaround

    Booko is fantastic, I just find their service a little lacking outside of Australia.

    I love Booko as well, they have a great site. My only issue with them is I find their service slightly lacking when you're outside of Australia.
