Book Reviews and Book Summaries Come to BookSpy
Jul/090
We have a pretty major update for users of our book price comparison site BookSpy.Net. Search results and price comparison pages now include Amazon.com ratings of the book, as well as reviews of the book. Simply click on ‘Amazon.com Reviews’ to see the reviews for the book. We have also added more detailed book information including shipping weight, binding, and summaries of the book under the ‘Details’ link. See the graphic below for a visual guide:
Book reviews, book ratings, and more now at BookSpy!
We hope this benefits our users, and as always, if you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
New Book Search Features at BookSpy.Net
Jun/090
The first order of business is the introduction of your new extensive help wiki. This will allow us to upload useful tips and hints for both book buyers and book scouts. We will be filling the pages with tips for scouting for books in the near future, so be sure to check back often! The help section is already well populates, so if you have not already, go check it out.
The second order of business is that we have made some improvements to our mobile book scout tools. First, the pages load 20% faster, which is great for rural areas. Second, we rearranged the price comparison and amazon rank after entering an ISBN. The sales rank is now shown first on the page, followed by prices, so users of older mobile phones can see that information first without scrolling down, making book price comparison a bit easier.
Finally, we would just like to remind our users that we would love to hear of suggestions or features that they would like implemented. Either leave a comment here, or send us an e-mail at oxfordbooks@gmail.com letting us know what you think!
