A few Updates to Compare-Books.com

It has been a busy week, but I have managed to make a few usability updates to Compare-Books.com. Among the new features are a searching reminder when searching for the lowest prices on books. The blank screen while waiting for results was just a little too off putting!

Second, it is now easier to return to your search results after comparing prices. This should help you compare prices on different edition books more quickly. This is especially useful for students because an older edition may have pretty much the same content and you will find that older used textbook prices are considerably lower.

Finally, users can no longer inadvertently click on the buy or sell tab before a search has been performed. There were problems with the site when users clicked through the tabs without having searched for a book or isbn, and getting random search results back. By disabling them before a search is made, the process of buying used books should be a lot clearer.

As always, keep the suggestions rolling in!
