isitors! This is the new generation of the site, packed with tons more features that will help you make the most of your Amazon shopping. Eventually this site will launch at the http://so.cool domain, but for now I am opening it up for a limited preview to gauge interest, test infrastructure, but most importantly -- to _hear your thoughts_. So go ahead and give it a try. You will probably not use all the site's features during your first visit, but I will not bore you with listing them all out Instead, I will let you click around and discover them as you go. If you shop on Amazon often I believe you will find my site very useful and, once again, please share your feedback.

Sortbyprime WAS amazing, but now most of the features don't work very well. You can no longer set minimum and maximum prices unless they fit predefined prices on the gauge. This eliminates a lot of usability and ALL flexibility that WAS offered. The sort by price no longer works either. When sortby took you to amazon, sorting by price worked when a straight amazon search could not be sorted. This new site SUCKS compared to the old one :'(

Cool! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to get - you wish some things worked differently and you posted them here. The good news is that I can now take your suggestions and actually turn them into enhancements to this site. So here is what I am going to do. Now that I know that free form inputs for price ranges is something you care about I will hit the keyboard and work on bringing that feature back. As to sorting, can you please add more detail on what you were trying to do? I want to reproduce your problem so that I can addresses it. Switching to the old site is also an option, but I will leave it as the last resort - I believe this incarnation of it adds a ton of new features, so I would love to be able to keep them while not losing anything that people loved about the old site. So once again, thank you for posting and rest assured that if there is something I can do to make the site more useful to you I will absolutely do it.

...and done! I added the ability to enter custom price ranges. Let me know what you think! Once I hear from you regarding the issue you had with searching, I will get to work on that as well. Once again, thanks for your feedback!

I love this site! This is going to revolutionize online shopping. I have one suggestion for improvement, in my humble opinion. I can't seem to sort by price in descending order (ie. I want to see the price in highest to lowest order).

Also, if the search results in 500 entries, for example, I cannot jump to the end or to page 5. It would be nice to have options other than Previous and Next. Thanks! Keep up the unbelievable work!

Hi Roger (I am taking a guess at your name, apologies if I guessed wrong). Thank you for posting here! Yes, I can totally add sorting by price from highest to lowest (look for it in the coming days) and will look into adding pagination (this may take a little longer). Thank you for the kind words!

rogermusa, I made the changes to sorting by price that will allow you to reverse sort direction -- just click on the same sorting link again and direction will be reversed. Give it a try and let me know if it is still not working in a way that you find convenient. Thanks again for writing!
