Book Burro is wonderfully done work. Not only does it work well, but it's actually very visually pleasing (to my eyes, anyway). The only thing I find myself wanting is the ability to drag it around, but that's pretty minor.

Great idea about dragging it around. I'll try to get that added tomorrow morning unless someone else sends me a patch before that!
The mind reels...what about a script to compare airfares?
Hmm.. My wife was just asking the same thing as I explained how Book Burro worked.
The problem there is that there are so many options and the searches aren't near as instantanious.. but we can definitely work on something..
A couple of years ago I wrote a python app that slowly went through EVERY option for a summer vaction to Scotland that lasted at least a month... I had it wait 5-30 seconds between queries... But after a week, I found a GREAT deal!
Good things come to those who wait I guess..

Not exactly as wide as book burro, but still helps with searching for flights...
Works fine until one sees that Amazon has many cheaper books through individual used book sellers. Would be nice if it could track the cheapest price on Amazon, and also allowed me to add bookstores (such as Amazon.jp).
