I'm a new user to this extension and it works great. It didn't ask for my browser history like other reviews state. I'm so ecstatic to use this, thank you so much.
Thank you Richard Hollister! This is an excellent extension, and I appreciate your time and commitment to updating the plugin for all of us.
I absolutely love this extension!

My most beloved extension is no longer thanks to a goodreads update. Thank you for the years of wonderful reading...and the ability to snag new releases right as my libraries got them. You will be missed, Available Reads!

Extension used to work great. Then it broke when Goodreads updated its UI layout. Now the extension is updated and it wants my entire browsing history!!! Nu-uhh! Uninstall.

It was great but has changed to requiring the permission to read my browser history. Sounds hacky to me.

Still works great, as long as you are on a shelf and not on the individual book page. Great extension!

No longer works, appears to have been abandoned. use Library Extension.

I love this extension and really hope you update it to work with the new Goodreads layout. Adding a book to a shelf and then having to view the shelf is a workaround but it's rather cumbersome.

This is a great extension, but unfortunately does not work with the new book pages Goodreads is starting to roll out. Luckily it still appears on the My Books/shelves pages so if you want to know if a book is available, add it to your shelves first.

I have never reviewed an extension before (and I use a ton of fabulous ones) but I felt compelled to leave a review for this one because it is ingenious. I almost cannot believe this exists! Thank you for developing this!

Seriously the best extension I have. If I could only have one, this is the one I would pick. It saves me so much time, and it always works. Seriously amazing extension!!!

The handiest extension, a must have for any power reader!

I've used this extension for years, and I always use it to help me find books to read. It honestly would be a no-brainer to be added as a feature within Goodreads itself if Amazon wasn't the parent company of the site.

Would be nice to have more options to hide audiobooks for example, hide when not available, it just becomes an endless blob of text when more than 5-10 libraries are used. 11/10 otherwise.

Works like a charm, saves a ton of time!

THIS IS AMAZING! I added both my libraries to the extension and it's so easy to see what's available. Finding books is going to be so much easier. Thanks rhollister!!!!! Edit: 6 years later this extension is still used by me all the time. It even works in the Edge Chromium Beta. Never miss getting myself on the wait list early for new e-books, and there's always something on my goodreads list that is available while I wait. Now I have 7 libraries w/ Overdrive in my network. It's truly insane.

Extremely useful for viewing my Overdrive options in Goodreads. Also available for Firefox now: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/available-reads/

If you use Goodreads (and especially if you have more than one library through Overdrive), this extension is a MUST HAVE! It is the best and simplest way to see the availability of titles across multiple libraries at once. I love that it differentiates between availability of audiobooks vs. ebooks at a glance, which is fabulous if you are searching for just one format, like me. Equally helpful, if a book is not currently available, the list shows how many copies a library has and how many holds there are on the title (ex. 10/3- meaning there are 10 holds on 3 copies). It does this across all of your libraries, so you can add your name to the shortest hold list. Super helpful! This developer actively works to keep the extension up to date and improve it. He clearly is as much of a book hound as I am. I wish I could tell him how grateful I am that he created and continues to support this extension. It makes searching for my next read SOOO much easier! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

This extension is wonderful! I made a list of audiobooks I want to listen to by using Goodreads. I can check Goodreads now to see what is available. It is so much faster. One wish is that you do an extension for books on RB Digistal and Hoopla as well.

This works perfectly! So much faster than figuring out what Goodreads book currently looks interesting and then checking my library only to discover there are no copies available! I will be using this from now on!
