Launching an MVP which recommends the latest IT books, should I continue on?

Hi Matt!

In terms of design, I think it's clear your MVP beats out it-ebooks.info, but it's unclear to me if the "form" can really be a competitive advantage over all the other sites out there if the "function" is basically the same.

I agree with Tushar, the market is quite competitive and likely commoditized at this point. In order to grab a part of the traffic, your best bet may be to invest in SEM by writing original content. As silly as it sounds, posting a review for each book, creating listicles with "Top 10 books for X," may help you vault to a higher spot over the next few months.

Overall though, beautiful site.

In my opinion market is saturated and you have many big competitors, mostly have very good traffic ranging from 150k to 680k per month.
There is nothing bad in this idea but you have to work really hard, if you wanna generate some revenue from it.
Recommendations:

• Add publisher & author of the book
• Mention free/paid (if paid then price with buy now)
• Add filter to search by free/paid and file format
