Thanks for the very useful site. Great idea, but will be more useful for me as Fictionwise and Books on Board are added. Thanks for the very useful site.

While it's a great idea, the site's useless for me right now because it doesn't include any of the three places I normally buy eBooks (Fictionwise, BoB, and Baen).

The ebooks.com entries always seem to include Adobe, MOBI and LIT but all three are not typically available. None seems to be available for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It also isn't clear why there are separate entries for Adobe and for PDF. The PDFs from ereadable.com are Adobe ebooks. Even with the above, this is a very nice service. It definitely needs FictionWise and Books on Board, although then Adobe ePub and FictionWise multi-format will complicate the format list. As a test I tried searching for Douglas Adams.
