Answers.Text: @Anthon: Because on many SE sites, questions that are asking for a site that does abc or a software program that does xyz people tend to complain when you put many answers in one (makes it harded to vote for good ones and down vote poor ones when they are mixed together). The only reason I grouped these two together is because they didn't were limited to Amazon only, which isn't quite what the question asked for.

  The one I use is [Luzme](http://luzme.com) It queries several stores including Kobo, Amazon, B&N and in several countries.
  
  It then for each book shows the price that it last saw for each source and country.
  
  It is searchable by book name and author and series, although the series data is not complete as it comes from the stores.
  
  You can set up a wishlist of books and emails can be sent when they change price.
  
  This site does provide DRM status if the store makes that data available.
  
  The format is not shown however Amazon sites provide Kindle format and others at least ePub - I would be interested in any exceptions
