Over the holidays I toyed around with scratching an itch I've had with purchasing Kindle books from Amazon. It's just too hard to casual browse through the offerings. So I came up with a small chrome web app.

I'm mulling over taking it to the next level.

Thoughts, feedback and suggestions. And yea, I know the UI sucks. It would be first on the list.

The Problem I'm Trying To Solve: Can't browse the long tail of Amazon's Kindle book offerings quickly and easily.

I don't want to replace Amazon's shopping experience, just offer a complementary alternative.

It's currently running on an EC2 micro at 3 cents an hour so be gentle. Look at it cross eyed it'll probably fall over.
