Why I'm keep getting errors like "Cannot Find Server" or "This page cannot be displayed" when I try to buy books from some stores? 1. Do you sell books? No, we're not an online book store; we provide a free book search and price comparison service by comparing prices at 85 major new, used and our-of-print book stores world wide. 2. Instead of having just one single service, why are there two different systems: in-print book search and out-of-print book search? With our in-print book search and price comparison system, our price-scanning robot searches different stores by ISBN (International Standard Book Number) and returns all possible prices for the same ISBN, while for most of the antique, out-of-print books, there's no ISBN available, so our robot searches books by title, author or keyword and matches those books of same book title and author. Our user can still compare prices from those matched titles. 3. Is your service independent, or are you affiliated with any particular book store? Our service is completely independent with unbiased comparison results. We are not affiliated with any particular book store. Unlike other book price comparison services, we will not exclude any store from our search list. Our goal is to provide our users with the most comprehensive, objective service! 4. I found one book title is available from store A which is in your search list, but I cannot find it in the search result? Do you intentionally hide some titles? Absolutely not. There are several possible reasons:
5. I have a website. May I link to your site or add a search box on my site? Please do. It helps people find out about BookFinder4u. We welcome all websites to link to us, with the exception of adult sites. For various ways to link to us, please visit our Link To Us section. Contact us if you have any questions or need more information. 6. Is your comparison result real-time and accurate? Yes, our search results are real-time though, by default, prices are cached for 30 minutes in our server in order to improve performance and save bandwidth. This ensures all prices are no more than 30 minutes old. In regards to the accuracy of the results, we can say 99% of time, our search result is accurate and comprehensive. But errors may occur due to the following reasons:
7. How can you possibly afford to provide this service free? Some of the bookstores give us a small commission when you buy a book through them. We include results from all the bookstores, whether they give us a commission or not. 8. If I cannot find my desired book, can you help me find it? We're glad to help our users to find books, although we cannot make any guarantees. Click here to fill out the contact form and you should receive our reply soon. 9. Can I add my bookstore into your search bot? If your store is associated with multi-dealer bookstores like: Half.com, Abebooks, Alibris, Amazon Marketplace etc., our search result has already included your store. Otherwise please contact us if you feel online book buyers can benefit from your store. 10. I have a book to sell, can I listed in bookfinder4u? We're currently not providing book listing service, but instead, we strongly recommend you to list your book in half.com, abebooks, alibris etc. which are included in our search list. 11. How is shipping rate calculated? By default, our comparison result always includes the lowest shipping rate available in those bookstores we search. 12. Does your service support multilingual books search? Yes, just input your desired language as usual and our price-scanning robot will do the rest for you. 13.
