Description from store
Very simple extension that allows you to add a book to either your "to-read", "currently reading", or "read" shelf without leaving the page you are on. This extension is designed to work on individual product pages, and does just that for most popular sites such as Powells, Google Books, Amazon, and plenty of smaller Web sites.
How it works: This extension loads the "Add to My Books" widget (http://www.goodreads.com/api/atmb_widget) using an ISBN number scraped from the current tab. It isn't designed for pages with multiple ISBN numbers, and will simply choose the first valid ISBN it sees. Since it isn't limited to a specific book site, it requires the "Your data on all websites" and "Your tabs and browsing activity" permissions.

- (2020-11-07) Add Book to Goodreads: There is an upgraded version of this extension that offers better ISBN detection, as well as ASIN detection (for Amazon Kindle books). Search the Chrome Web Store for "Add Book to Goodreads" or go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/add-book-to-goodreads/kecmjklilofklihnefffjgafcbjmbbbl
- (2020-10-10) Rifat Islam: Not working says no isbn when there clearly is one on amazon
- (2020-01-08) kubilay örcün: Throws an error on the console, it is not working either.
- (2019-06-03) Kate Bailey: I actually quite like the utility of this extension, except that recently it has started throwing a lot of errors for "couldn't find an ISBN on the webpage". I understand that this is important for indexing, but it would be nice if it popped up a couple of title matches so I could pick one to add, so I don't have to do it all manually. The most recent one was a pre-release page on Amazon, which should probably be manageable for the extension/site... easy to scrape for data.
- (2018-03-01) Tyler Burton: Throws and error in the console and doesn't open due to some permissions issues with Chrome. Needs update. [Unchecked runtime.lastError while running tabs.executeScript: The extensions gallery cannot be scripted. at Object.callback]
- (2013-12-01) Ričardas Ivanauskas: Show nothing if book is not in goodreads.
- (2013-07-23) Joanna Hardt: It is a good site and i would recommend it
- (2013-03-05) Raine Virta: Good enough, but could be better: - doesn't recognize my custom "might-read" shelf - the UI doesn't update after "adding to shelf..." so you don't get feedback if the book was actually added (they are)
