searching Amazon

[dondons]

If you are searching for books in Amazon and there are thousands to look at , how do you cut to the chase and look at the ones at the end of the list? At the moment I have to work through each page of lists one at a time .....

what are you searching for in particular?

There's no simple way of doing it. The only way I can find is to manually tweak the page URL, as follows:

Go to the second (or any subsequent page) of results.
Click to place your cursor anywhere within the address bar.
Press the right-arrow until you reach the bit where it says 'page=2' (or whatever).
Change to page number to, say, 30 and hit 'Enter'
As there are 12 results per page, that will take you to the page with the 360th search result at the bottom of it.
The number of the last page can be determined by dividing the total number of results by 12 (and rounding up where necessary) but it needs to be noted that entering a page number greater than 400 will only show the 400th page.

It would be better to use more accurate search terms!

A vastly better source of secondhand books:

Chris, Amazon owns AbeBooks. I don't know how separate the operations are but I assumeit will lessen as time goes on.

you can refine your search using the sort by option, such as by price highest to lowest or lowest to highest or relevance etc
