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.
I have to commend you on the brilliance of your extension. As a bookworm, I've used various tools, but yours stands out for its ability to find the most cost-effective options while factoring in shipping. It's like having a personal book bargain hunter. It's an invaluable asset to the book-loving community. Great job! Are there any specific book genres or types of readers that your extension benefits the most?

@ricardo_luz I appreciate it thank you! The current limitations are textbooks and regions. So it is about 70% effective at finding the cheapest textbooks but is roughly 95% accurate for everything else. Also the launch edition works best in the US, UK, and Australia. I'm actively working on adding and improving other regions, so if anyone want better functionality in their region please let me know so I can prioritise.

@jos_bish Certainly! The current focus is on books, after adding all major regions to the book site I'll be looking at growing the extension horizontally and covering more product lines. Anything in particular you would like to see?
