After being tagged as uncool for providing links to amazon.{de,com,...} I am more than willing to exchange the link template to another store, database, etc...
So far I could not find any suitable though.... These stores for example either make it difficult to search by ISDN Number or don't provide that functionality at all. After that I went through some book collection managing tools like alexandria. Unfortunately these also use amazon & friends for image collection and information leeching. So what now? Is it possible to build up a free database for books?
Seems there are quite a few> attempts to do it in the open. But at least isbndb just reuses images from other vendors.
Since I don't have access to a scanner nor do I want to scan all my book covers, this list might be coverless soon...which certainly wouldn't look as good. But then again what does my lynx care about pictures...
