Amazon's "Advanced Search" feature allows you to select one of a few major languages when searching for books.
But if you execute a search specifying, say English, you can modify the URL in your addressbar, changing the search term from "English" to "Esperanto":
field-language=Esperanto
The search will execute successfully and, indeed, only return books written in Esperanto.
FWIW!

I just went through and put in negative reviews for a few books that were machine translated, poorly done, and not even all in Esperanto. I hope the negative reviews will stick. Please be cautious when purchasing anything translated by Onyx Translations.

nacxjo:Thank you for showing everyone this.I was shocked by some of the Esperanto books. Hopefully, beginners don't waste their money of some of those books. The problem is that there appears to be hundreds of them.

Now if Onyx were to go back and tidy up these "translations" of theirs, that'd be great. But I guess that's too much work.

orthohawk:They could at least hire an editor, but I guess that would cost money.
