Title: Are there any ebook search engines?
Question: Are there any websites that work like ebook search engines, where you can perform a search over multiple stores and have the results sortable and/or filterable for file format, price, presence of DRM, and so on?

Answers:
sents: text: The one I use is Luzme
text: It queries several stores including Kobo, Amazon, B&N and in several countries.
text: It then for each book shows the price that it last saw for each source and country.
text: It is searchable by book name and author and series, although the series data is not complete as it comes from the stores.
text: You can set up a wishlist of books and emails can be sent when they change price.
text: This site does provide DRM status if the store makes that data available.
text: The format is not shown however Amazon sites provide Kindle format and others
text: at least ePub - I would be interested in any exceptions

text: Using the get books function, to provide information like comparative pricing between retailers and DRM status of the work at different retailers.

sents: text: Amazon only enhanced search engines (I'll group these together since they don't quite fit the question, but are still worth a mention).
text: Jungle-Search is an interesting search engine.
text: It's not limited to ebooks and is Amazon only (though you can choose from various Amazon stores, such as CAN/US/UK/GER/FRA).
text: The purpose of this search engine is to allow you to more easily search by discount rates and price ranges.
text: Here is the how-to section (for US since most of our users are US; you can easily switch to another country at the top).
text: eReaderIQ allows you to search amazon, track books and add them to a watch list (being notified of price drops for books, authors etc.).
text: It also has a history of pricing for ebooks.
text: This is available for US/CAN/UK Amazon sites.
