SekhemtyAre there any websites that work like ebook search engines, where you can perform a search over multiple stores and have the results sortable and/or filtrable for file format, price, presence of drm, and so on?

Morning
 
2:38 PM
In the office.
 
not today
 
3:06 PM
That was a statement, not a question. :-)
 
Ah. So we have switched roles today. You are in the office and I have commuted to the basement.
 
I'm still in the basement. My office is on the lowest inhabited floor of the building, two floors below the street entrance.
 
3:29 PM
I don't really have an office at home. I'm a nomad that wanders to wherever the kids are not. Today my wife has gone out for a few hours with them, so I don't have to hide down in the basement for a while. I'm next to the fireplace in the bedroom sitting in a glider.
 
@JasonDown I don't have an office at home either, but I do have a computer desk with three monitors crammed onto it. I have to put my work laptop on a TV tray.
 
Hah nice. I ha.ve an old linux box in the basement with a single monitor, but I don't use it for work. Laptop, straight up is my home work environment
 
3:50 PM
@JasonDown One monitor is my primary home system (Mac mini). One monitor is our file server (ancient iMac) and one monitor is the external monitor for my laptop (30" cinema display) lent to be by my office.
 
30"... drool
 
At the office, I only have a 27" monitor.
 
I was just thinking... i should steal the hdmi cable from my dvd player and hook into my tv
kids aren't here right now, so I could get a couple hours in using my tv as an extended desktop
hmmmm
 
4:06 PM
bah cable is too short to be useful. I have to sit so close to the tv that I have to look up too much (or stand).

Over 310 views now. The question may help to draw new users in. I wonder if it'll hit 5000 views by the end of the month.

Google is bringing it up on the second page of search results when you search for "ebook search".
i'll stop blabbing now ;)

Q: Should we try and get a team to work on advertising?

James JenkinsWe all seem to acknowledge and support the idea that we need to do some advertising. But we are not really getting anywhere with it. My thought is that we get two or three people to take a more active role in getting the advertising rolling. We need someone volunteers who will take the ball an...

@JasonDown Woot!
 
@JonEricson That's a good sign.
 
@JasonDown Definately. A site needs a mix of broad-interest questions, like that one, and narrow interest. I'm glad ebooks has both.
