Anyone know how to do custom searches on Amazon

Does anyone know how to do a customised / advanced search for kindle books on Amazon UK

The sort of think I would like to do is set either a maximum or minimum price. But any other tweaks would be handy.

I know that there is a category for under £7 or £5. But I would like to set my own limits.

RE: Anyone know how to do custom searches on Amazon

I'm sure someone will have a better idea, but you can try this:
  • Search Books (not Kindle books) for your desired keywords or browse to your desired category.
  • Set the price parameters in the left-hand sidebar. It's near the bottom. Click "Go".
  • Then select Kindle Books as the format.
It's awkward, but it works. Sort of.

Hope this helps.

Use Jungle Search... - they have a UK Kindle search page

http://www.jungle-search.com/UK/kindle.php

You can enter your min/max price, and when you do the search it just generates the search URL on Amazon.

If it's one you want to run regularly, you can just bookmark that URL.
For example, this one is UK Kindle books between £2 and £6 excluding public domain books:- http://www.amazon.co.uk...


You can also monitor individual books that you are waiting for price drops on, and get notified of new free books too. Also, all current freebies are listed at the bottom of the Jungle Search form.
