An extension that finds the cheapest place to buy a book
An extension that kicks in whenever you search for a book on google or any major book website. The extension will provide you with a list of the cheapest places you can buy that book with book prices including delivery. Currently available for AU, US, and UK.
I'm an avid reader and almost exclusively buy my books online, usually defaulting to Amazon as a purchase platform.
Recently, I thought maybe there were cheaper places I could buy my books that I simply couldn't find.
🚨The Problem🚨
I have no idea if book sites are scamming me.
I tried websites like BookFinder but did not enjoy the user experience or the results I got back in most cases, and I would often forget to use it in my rush to buy a book I was excited about, so that leads us to...
💡The Solution💡
A user-friendly browser extension that never lets you overpay for a book.
So I built the pages on pages extension to complement the website. I hope it helps anyone who prefers to buy their books to do so more cheaply.
Currently it has a bias towards used books so you'll have to scroll further down the list if you're interested in new books.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions, feedback, or features you would like to see that will help you use the site more, I'd love to build them for you 😁 .
Some improvement ideas I already have:
- Source books from more sites
- Add filters for old and new books
- Add filters for preference eg. sort by price, delivery time, title relevance etc.
- Add filters to avoid Amazon and it's subsidiaries in results
- Add support for more countries
Let me know what you think.
