I'd like a way to turn off some of the options in the Find this Book section (in the right-hand column when viewing a book).

There are some of them that I'll never use, living on the left side of the Atlantic and others that I'll never use, because I never use them. And I'd rather not search the wrong one by accident...

At the same time, I'd also appreciate a slightly wider selection of places to search. Besides Amazon and ABE, I'd like to be able to search Alibris and Powell's (since I live in the U.S.)

You can turn off the links outside your territory from your profile - in the "Site preferences" there's a select labelled "Show find links:". Just set this to US.

I'll certainly consider adding more places to search if there's demand for them. I'll look into Powell's right away (you're not the first to suggest that).

The existing profile settings are a good start, but I was thinking of something a little more precise, where I could pick the ones that I do and do not want to use.

A couple of reasons... First, even though I live in the U.S. I occasionally buy books from Amazon.co.uk because they are not (yet) available in the U.S. Second, I don't ever buy books from eBay, no matter the locale.
