Fix the link to "Half Light" by E. Leverett Taylor
A search on Luzme for Half Light turns up the work by E. Leverett Taylor, but when I click on the title, the /searchall response is: "We can't find this ...."
1 voteAdminRachel Willmer (Owner, Luzme) respondedThanks! There is a problem I’m tracking down; real examples like this are really useful

Develop an Android app...
...or make a mobile version of the full Luzme website that renders on smaller screens. Thanks!
52 votesI’ve uploaded a new mobile-friendly version of the site; let me know of any specific problems with it, but it should work better on an Android phone.
app coming later…
But I’d like to know what you’d want from an app that you don’t get from a mobile-friendly website; please get in touch an let me know.

warn people to set the countries they want to monitor BEFORE importing watchlists
I imported my GoodReads list, not knowing anything about Luzme, and discovered it only gave me prices for the US and UK. I haven't the slightest interest in the UK. I found the place to change to Canada, but it makes no difference to the display. Deleting the watchlist and supposedly reimporting it not only didn't fix the display — it didn't really reimport, as there are the same records on it, even though I'd deleted some.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion.
I’m working on some changes to the signup and settings procedures at the moment; I’ll include this.
You shouldn’t need to delete and re-add the watchlist; it may be that the process to update the watchlist is taking a while to run. I’ll check it out.

Advanced Search option
Could we have an additional option so that we can search by multiple fields, eg, Author name & Book title. This would be useful for items that the search engine seems to have difficulty in finding.
Sample book Retribution, LM Preston

Identify authors' multiple pen names
A number of authors write under more than one name. It would be useful to be able to link to all of their names and therefore all of their work: for example Michael Marshall Smith also writes as 'Michael Marshall'; a less obvious example is Candace Robb who has written under the name 'Emma Campion'.
I'm not sure how easy this would be - perhaps by providing a feedback option for helpful users to provide the relevant information.

Set a significant % change for price drops
Sometimes mails show really only cents/ pence price changes which isn't greatly interesting. If we could set it to 5 or 10 % drops it could make a more actionable list.

Add filter by language option
Filter search results for books/authors by language so that only books in a selected language are displayed. This is especially important for prolific authors who are published in many countries/languages.

Per book price limits
An option to set individual price limits per-book (that override the global setting) would be great - some books I'd only buy for a few pounds, but other's I'd like to know if they dropped below a fiver
14 votesI’ve started making the necessary database changes to support this.

Filter foreign stores that would allow me to purchase
As A UK user, It'd be nice to have indication as to whether it's easy to buy books from the various foreign stores (e.g. will they let me use a UK address and credit/debit card to purchase)
8 votesGood idea, thanks.

Add txtr.com if possible
txtr describes itself as Europe's leading eBook store. It uses IP address to determine country, which makes browsing from overseas problematic, but I've used it in the UK to purchase a number of books in EPUB format

Wishlist notification RSS feed
It would be great to have a per-user wishlist notification rss feed (containing the same information as the notification emails)
4 votesGetting close to the point where I can implement this

add hive.co.uk
Sometimes cheaper than the other Uk sites listed

Extend the site to pricewatch dedicated ereaders
Expand it to keep an eye on prices of the dedicated e-ink readers (not the tablet ones), thinking Kobo touch, Glo, Aura,basic Kindle etc as opposed to the Fire or Arc

Implement Luzme as a Calibre plug-in
If the Luzme watchlist could be incorporated as a plug-in to Calibre, it would produce a wonderul one-stop ebook management system.
I admit this is one of those "great idea, but I don't know how it would work" suggestions, but I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks it would be a marriage made in heaven!

Leave it with me :)

Multiple Watchlists
Hello, Perhaps you can have multiple watchlists, and then perhaps make them shareable. So, for example, I want to collect the whole series of the Star Wars Books. I would then set-that up as a discrete watchlist and monitor that list and buy off it when the price dropped. But I could then share that watchlist with others who had the same interest. Also if you have a curated watchlist, you could partner with some retailers, eg Kobo, and then allow users to buy multiple curated titles at a discount. Thanks

Getting into site
I seem to have a technical problem getting into your site. The home page shows a doubled up place to search with a search button to the right of each space which does not respond.
1 voteAdminRachel Willmer (Owner, Luzme) respondedMy apologies; I think there is a bug with IE8/XP. I’m aiming to fix this in the near future.

Import books from Shelfari 'Plan to Read' list.
Along the same lines as the Goodreads and LibraryThing import, it would be awesome if you could import from Shelfari too.
