This could be quite useful to students or those that order a bulk number of books regularly.<p>I would include the word 'country' in the title.<p>You should have a bottom line conversion into a currency that is understandable to the user so they can see the overall price difference. I know you highlight the cheapest - but it should be shown to the user so they know what the saving is.<p>Some improvements do need to be made as some prices were blank / not pulled through but when I checked directly they were significantly cheaper than the one that was highlighted.

It's not empty though... it says "chad fowler". I understand this is just a placeholder, but for those who aren't developers and may not appreciate the difference, clicking search when the input field is empty should perform a search for the placeholder text.
This may be a technical problem, but it's hard to really know the best price of a book when you exclude used books from third-party sellers. For example I found a $70 book that was in the $60 range on a foreign site, but then if you clicked through on the US site you could find one for $45 that was slightly used. Without that kind of contextual information the site is less useful.
I´ve been doing this manually for years, great job. Just include amazon.es please ;). It would be interesting to have the possibility to change the shipping option. Shipping from amazon.com with the cheapest option takes a month or more to reach Spain, so sometimes is better to pay a bit more to avoid that.
Nice! working on something similar but not limited to Amazon stores only <a href="http://www.librarist.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.librarist.com/</a>
Well done.<p>I'm building something slightly similar : <a href="http://www.shoptimate.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.shoptimate.com</a> But it's browser extension, not a website and it's not limited to books or Amazon.<p>Note that shipping from a foreign country can lead to custom taxes.
I tried it with the first several suggested books, and they all showed .com as the cheapest. You might want to consider hand-picking a few that will show up for [country] users as cheaper from [other country] store, to better demonstrate the utility of the service.
I typically use <a href="http://bigwords.com" rel="nofollow">http://bigwords.com</a> for multi-book price comparison; it gives you the cheapest total price with shipping, and allows you to tweak parameters (new/used, internation, etc).
It would be good to convert all prices to a single currency, I understand these change daily but I'm sure you could find a real time quote to track/use.<p>I like the design a lot, very clean. Hats off!
This is great! As someone who moved from London to Sydney it is just what I need, I never know whether to order from the .com store or the .co.uk store.
