I am the author of jeviz.com. Currently it is only for US locale. Immediate benefits are you have more options for search sorts. For example most choose a department and select "Most review" sort option to sort by number of reviews which is not visible in Amazon.com site. When you login you can save your search parameters and synch your mobile, desktop search parameters. There are about 50,000 categories in Amazon you can do full text search for categories. There is advanced book search more accessible than Amazon advanced book search. Please tell me what are the features you want more.

I like how you use the tour to explain the interface. Since you seem to be targeting power users although they could probably figure it out as you go along it makes it slightly less intimidating.

Yes, I target power users but even power users needs introduction I think. You can end the anytime by clicking End Tour button. It won't show up again unless you clear your browser cache.

Search by dimensions would be great. I've been wanting that for a long time.

Try to normalize unit prices, the absence of which I presume is for Amazon to move whatever product they prefer.

I really like the interface.

I played with resizing the window of my Chrome browser to see how it would react, and the UI is resizing really well. However I did it quite a few times, from phone size to desktop size, and after a bunch of times the sidebar (with categories)'s scrolling is getting more and more sluggish. Just so you know.
