A virtual bookstore containing over 20000 of Amazon listed books. I really like where this is going - it’s a far nicer experience to browse for books visually as you would do in a non-virtual bookshop rather than browsing via a more visually static search function (like the traditional amazon experience). It’s fine if you know what you want, but quite limiting if you are just browsing. Maybe just me but I find it quite tedious and time consuming scrolling through the lists of titles generated if I’m not sure what I’m after.
