Get notifications on price changes and new reviews for Amazon books

Image from store Writer Watch

Description from store WriterWatch notifies you when Amazon books get new reviews or change in price. In addition, WriterWatch displays the follower count of an author as well as the current ABSR of each book. Every twenty four hours, WriterWatch checks for updates on Amazon - and adds an alert to your toolbar in Chrome if a change is found. With Writer Watch, you: - Always know the number of followers on Amazon - Know the ABSR of all tracked books - Save time from regularly checking books - Notice changes quickly so you can take the necessary action - Don’t miss out on price opportunities - Can react to negative reviews - See new positive reviews as they arrive in the store Writer Watch also helps authors fight back against Amazon spammers, who can hijack books and change the price. You can read more about how that particular spam occurs here: https://kindlepreneur.com/amazon-printing-scams/ Writer Watch Limitations: Writer Watch is limited to 50 books per author for the time being because the more users and books we have, the higher the operational costs will go up. However, it is our goal to keep this Writer Watch free - this way, more authors will be able to use it and see if/when they are scammed. The faster an author picks up on scammers, the sooner they can stop them, and thus the less profitable it becomes for the scammers. If this happens enough, scammers will give up. By limiting to 5 books, we are able to serve more authors in this fight against spammers. At the moment, Writer Watch is only available for Amazon US. We're investigating how to make it available for international markets, but wanted to make Writer Watch available as fast as possible to help authors fight against spammers. Stay tuned... we're excited to hopefully offer international options in the future. If you are in another market besides the United States, and want to use WriterWatch, send us an email.

(2025-01-07) Liz Hurst: Really love this cute little plugin for keeping an eye on all my books at a single glance. Huge thanks to Dave Chesson and his team for all they do for us indies. Can't wait for the UK version to drop!
(2024-11-20) Jacquelyn Lynn: Awesome plugin! It took a few tries for it to sync with Author Central, but now it's working great, tracking all of my books. And I've even added my clients' books to it, so I can quickly see how they're doing. Another winner from Kindlepreneur.
(2024-11-12) Dawn Greenfield Ireland: Works like a charm. Took multiple times to get connected to Amazon Author Central, but now that that's out of the way, I can see my 20 novels, 7 nonfiction books, and some of my notebooks activities. This app saves time and patience. I don't have to visit each of my books to get the details.
(2024-11-07) R Weir: Updating my review, as Henry got back to me and fixed the Sync issue, so I now see my books. I only see the Paperback versions, so I emailed him back about how to add them, since Add Books button is grayed out. Same issue as others. When I go to sync to my Amazon Author site, nothing happens. I've removed, reinstalled and even closed Chrome and opened it again, and nothing happens. I would love to have the plug-in to help me out with my book sales and reviews. thanks...
(2024-11-07) Pat Parker: Excellent! Yes, there were some initial glitches, but a bit of patience and it works. Their server was overloaded. I like the new product. I even have it synced on both Chrome and Brave now! Thank you Dave.
(2024-11-07) Jl Hendricks: I love how quick the team was to fix a sync issue that showed up yesterday, and Dave Chesson messaged me letting me know the situation and when it was fixed! It is super easy! I'm very excited to be able to keep an eye on my books and make sure they aren't being targeted or pirated. Thanks to the Writer Watch team, it's going to be super simple and quick! Highly recommend! You haven't installed the extension yet? Why not? Head on over to the extension store and download today! :)
(2024-11-07) sheila mast: The response was quick and helpful. The customer service agent knew his stuff. He kept sending questions until we figured out the problem. I appreciated his tenaciousness to help.
(2024-11-07) Jane Steen: It took me five minutes to install the extension and sync up my Amazon author account, and I'm not usually a Chrome user so I had no idea what I was doing. I'm in the UK but make most of my Zon sales on the US site, so this is a handy little feature I intend to use regularly. I've followed Kindlepreneur since literally the beginning and trust them 100%; I also appreciate their consistent focus on keeping the costs of their helper tools down for us authors.
(2024-11-06) Dean Kliewer: The sync button does not do anything, I have my Amazon Author site open, not sure where to go from here. Does not work.
(2024-11-06) Courtney Dean: Nothing happens when I try to sync my account when I'm logged in.
(2024-11-06) Kait Carson: I would love to use this extension, but when I log onto my Author Central Account and click sync - crickets.
(2024-11-06) ginger duran: It's November 6, 2024 and I have the extension. I logged into my Author Central account to sync it but when I push the button, nothing happens. What should I do next?
(2024-11-06) 2love4jesus: This would be great to have and I thank you for creating something like this...however, mine for some reason keeps showing as if I need to sync my Amazon account. I keep clicking the button but nothing happens. Do I need to do something else?
(2024-11-04) Erica Elliott: The extension works well.
(2024-11-04) Catherine Chant: This extension works great! Very handy to see what's happening with all my books on one screen with daily updates right in the browser. If you have been having trouble getting the extension to sync to Amazon, try it now, because I had the same issue a couple days ago and the developers just tweaked some backend code and it's working fine now. Give it a try.
(2024-11-04) Fedelia Spector: WOW! I'm so impressed with customer service. I had issues loading the extension and they answered almost immediately. I'm so happy with Writer Watch. Thank you for creating such a helpful program.
(2024-11-04) John Roosen: The software was easy to download and use. It's a great extension. It's effective in searching out key and relevant information on your books. Writers Watch performs an important function especially for Indie Writers who do not always have additional resources to track book activity on someone who may be using your book outside of your knowledge or involved in a scam.
(2024-11-02) Bruce Sheets: Very useful, check it out.
(2024-11-02) Matt Barnes: Thankful for this extension. And its free.
(2024-11-02) Tina Williams: Installed without any issues. Very grateful to have a free tool that can help spot unusual activity from scammers. Many, many thanks!
(2024-11-02) Rachel Boyce: Easy to install and seems to be working a treat. Nice tool to have. Thanks!
(2024-11-02) Barbara Randell: Nov 2. Loaded. Tells me I have to be on Amazon Author Central, but I am already there. How do I link the two?
(2024-11-01) VANIA BALSAMINI: Good Idea! But It don't work. I am on Amazon.com with Google Chrome. Autentification from Author page.
(2024-11-01) Jaelynn Alsobrooks: Yet again another great product from the Kindlepreneur team! Just as a heads up - apparently it only works for Google Chrome (not Edge). After figuring that out it's worked seamlessly! Can't wait to continue exploring :)
(2024-11-01) Michael Dailey: At first it didn't work, but this was because their servers were overloaded due to so many authors coming over from the kindleprenuer email they sent out. Works GREAT now.
(2024-11-01) Andrew Lewis: Just for clarification, make sure to download and use Chrome if you don't have it, I was using Edge now it is working!
(2024-11-01) Ray Franklin: The change from ReaderScout to WriterWatch has improved this extension. I couldn't get ReaderScout to sync on my computer. That problem has been solved and WriterWatch synced quickly, adding all my books. However, I do have questions. I rarely use Chrome. Do the monitoring features require Chrome to be open? How will WW notify me of changes in the monitored books? I still think this is a promising tool. Just needs a place to get some operating information.
(2024-11-01) Trails Net: Where do I get instructions about how to use this. I downloaded it... now what?
(2024-11-01) Jen Lepp: Great idea, but doesn't sync for me, either.
(2024-10-15) Rainer Blumenthal: does not sync
(2024-10-13) Matt Anderson: Doesn't sync, but the icon looks cool in my toolbar.
(2024-10-11) Emma: Same story as everyone else, doesn't sync with my author.amazon.com page. Unable to locate support docs to help fix whatever's broken. Would love to use this though, please fix it!
(2024-09-23) Sara Marks: I love this but you can only see so many books in your KDP system. You don't control which ones they show you. Occasionally it doesn't even work, not telling me when ratings or price changes happen. Sometimes I end up having to check each of my books anyway.
(2024-09-06) Tom McAuliffe: SAME thing here.... Followed all directions and it will not SYNC to my Author Amazon account/page. HELP! I need what ReaderScout offers. Make it a paid App with SUPPORT.
(2024-08-26) Savannah Gilbo: Doesn't sync with my author.amazon.com page. Unable to locate support docs to help fix whatever's broken. Would love to use this though, please fix it!
(2024-08-22) Ben S: Doesn't work, won't sync with my author.amazon.com page.
(2024-06-07) Linda Hoover: ReaderScout is a real confidence booster. It's like a gift when I'm notified I have something to check on and find it's a nice review of one of my books. Very encouraging. It's a great author tool.

(2024-02-19) ian Feldman: Reader Scout keeps me updated with changes to prices and reviews-two things near and dear to the heart of any author. It's also set it and forget it. Just add your books and away it goes. Great tool for the busy author.
