Creative idea. Two problems.

1: It misses the mark by not being AJAX driven. I should be able to hover over a book and have it give me more information - it shouldn't require click | close | click | close... to view multiples.
2: By not doing the above, they've made it borderline unusable. Check out 10 books. Then try to go back to where you were before visiting Zoomii - your history is stuffed with Zoomii... Very 1999.

Great idea, but some strange mistakes in implementation.. Non-fiction is sorted by author and not subject, which makes browsing pointless and certainly is not how real book stores do it.

not impressed! Shan't bother. Google does it better!
