Bargain Book Shopping Just Got Faster, Smarter, and Kinder
While iPads, Kindles, and Nooks are grabbing headlines, for the 97% of readers who only buy paper-bound books, there is now a faster, easier, and kinder way to save money buying books online.
www.BargainBookMole.org, has just released free browser add-ons for Firefox and Internet Explorer. What makes these ?next generation? shopping add-ons different is that they let buyers search for the best book prices on the web exactly when they want to: anywhere online, on the fly, while reviewing details about a book.Before the Bargain Book Mole, comparing book prices online required finding a new website, typing in (or copying and pasting) the title or ISBN information (an unique identifier for each book edition) and hitting the search button. For example, consider a search for a Laura Ingalls Wilder classic on Bookfinder.com, the most popular book-price comparison website. Searching for Little House on the Prairie takes 22 seconds and brings up 46 choices that have Little House on the Prairie in the title. After choosing a title, Bookfinder takes another 23 seconds to get pricing results, for a total search time of around 45 seconds. Add in 10-25 seconds for switching websites, choosing a title, and a single book price search takes about a minute or more. Compared with driving to a bunch of bookstores, this is still incredibly fast, but the same search with a Bargain Book Mole add-on takes only 3 seconds and without the distractions of switching to a new website or double-checking if the right edition was chosen. (The same Little House search on the www.BargainBookMole.org website instead of BookFinder or AddAll.com, the two most popular book price searchers, the search process would still be 10 times faster.)
Here?s how the add-on works: it?s invisible?unless it encounters a book ISBN number which triggers a wee pricing tab to discreetly appear. Click on the tab, and the pricing mole quickly digs through all the major book-selling websites to find the best used and new prices (including shipping costs) in seconds.
Of course, price isn?t everything. The Bargain Book Mole also lets readers review the details of a book?s condition without having to visit the site where the book is sold. And, buying a book via the add-on does a small good deed since the Bargain Book Mole donates 5% of its commission fee (which is paid by the websites; it?s always free for users) to nonprofits, such as the Author?s Guild, libraries, literacy efforts, and environmental causes. This means even used-book sales benefit writers and the larger community.
Move away from a book page and the little book-mole tab disappears back underground. In short, it is the fastest, most convenient, and kindest way to buy the best-priced books online. It?s easy to understand why before its official release date and with no publicity, the Bargain Book Mole is already receiving the most downloads of any Firefox book-buying add-on.Further facts and Info: – The initial download of a Bargain Book Mole add-on takes seconds. – For screen shots and a two-minute video showing the Bargain Book Mole add-on in action, go to: http://www.bargainbookmole.org/download
