Based on my limited understanding that's possibly because the booksellers aren't too quick at updating their databases or ... something. What I do know is that when you type the name of a book into the ebookprice searchbox and get zero results, the same title frequently *does* turn up when you directly search for it on the associated websites - BOB, Fictionwise, etc. So - useful, to a degree, but not particularly reliable as yet.
