[Feature request] Make bol.com toplevel domain editable
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Searching bol.de for German books gives a better result than for bol.com
So making the bol toplevel domain editable as it is for amazon would be helpful.

ah ? I didn't realise they had a German site.
okido, I'll add that functionality - easy enough; will be in 6.2
ouch.... some bad news I'm afraid. The site bol.de is a different company.
Bol.de is in fact just a brand of Thalia.de and has nothing to do with bol.com.
Try it out, look up the same isbn on both thalia.de and bol.de. The book page is near identical.
So it's not a matter of changing the url, it would need an entire new search-engine implementation... and then we're back to #62 of course.
Is your experience with amazon.de not as good as I hoped?
yes and NO
yes, better than amazon.com
NO, because it's amazon …
I try to avoid the amazonisation of our local merchants wherever I can
Especially when it comes to books
hehe - I agree totally with your statements :)
But keep in mind this app is a collecting-tool. The lookups are for collecting data about the book, they are not to take you to a shopping site. (Granted, there is the amazon/bol.com searches for 'books from/in').
I'll close this issue, as there is little point in supporting bol.de. But I'll reopen the question on thalia.de, and while I cannot make any promises, I'll try to revisit it in the future.
