Description from store
IndieBooks is a Chrome extension that helps local bookstores compete against Amazon by providing an easy and convenient way for book lovers to buy books directly from their favorite indie stores instead of from Amazon.
Get started in 3 simple steps!
πΎ Install the extension from the Google Chrome marketplace.
π Search for a book just as you would normally do on Amazon. After finding the book in the search results, visit the product's page for more details. On the right-hand side of this page is where you'll see the IndieBooks extension! IndieBooks displays a list of bookstores in your area with links to where to purchase the exact book you are viewing.
π With one click, you can find the book you searched for at the local bookstore of your choice. If the bookstore is sold out, no worries! You can try the next bookstore on the list!

- (2023-01-13) Erik Brown: All of a sudden it only gives me book stores in MD even though my zip code is registered in NJ
- (2022-02-01) Tolulope βToluβ Falae: Idea is a 5/5--but currently the redirect link doesn't work and results in a 404 error message. Which defeats the point of the app... I was able to easily delete the redirect link and keep the bookstore webpage link that directs me to the book I'm looking for but I shouldn't have to. Troubleshoot this and I'll make it a 5/5 review.
- (2021-01-15) Wil Matthews: I would love to find every book I want at my local bookstore, but as every e-commerce shopper, sometimes it is a lot easier to just go to Amazon than drive around to my local bookstores to find what I'm looking for. Thanks to this extension, I am able to find what I want WHERE I want to buy it. Great extension! Thank you for helping our local bookstores!!!

This doesn't seem to work on Amazon smile. - (2021-02-12, v:1.2.1) Our bookstore isn't showing up!
Hello! A separate question: Last week I submitted the two locations for the bookstore that I work for - Oblong Books & Music in Millerton & Rhinebeck NY - and neither of them are showing up through this extension with zipcode 12572. Do I just need to wait longer for our indie bookstore to get approved? Thank you! - (2021-02-12, v:1.2.1) No longer working!
Hello! This extension was working great for me last week and now the bookstores aren't showing up at all on Am*zon. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension, I've made sure that it is pinned, and that my ad blocker isn't interfering, but it's still not working. Any thoughts?
