Borrowbook — Is the ebook at your library?

Description

See if your Libby libraries have the ebook — on StoryGraph, Goodreads, Amazon, or any title you highlight. Is the ebook at your library? Borrowbook tells you while you browse. Borrowbook checks your Libby libraries for the book you're looking at and shows the answer right on the page: a small pill for each of your libraries, with how many copies are free or how long the waitlist is. If it's there, borrow it instead of buying it. WHERE IT WORKS • StoryGraph — on every book page, right under the title. • Goodreads — switch it on in settings. • Amazon — Kindle, paperback or hardcover pages on 20 Amazon stores; you choose which. • Any page — highlight "Title by Author" in a review, a newsletter or a list, then press Alt+Shift+L (⌥⇧L on Mac) or right-click → Check Libby. HOW IT DECIDES • Any edition counts: you can be on the hardcover page and still see the library's ebook. It matches by title and author, not ISBN. • Only the right book: a look-alike title by a different author never counts as a match. • Available first: libraries with free copies come first, then the shortest wait, then the rest. SET UP ONCE 1. Open Libby in your browser, pick your library and copy the address (libbyapp.com/library/yourlibrary). 2. Paste it into Borrowbook's settings. Add every library you have a card for and give each one its own colour. 3. Browse as usual. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Free. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics. • Only the book's title and author (or the text you highlight) are sent, and only to your libraries' public catalogue (OverDrive, the service behind Libby). Nothing else, nowhere else. • Your settings stay in your browser. Results are cached on your device for a few hours so repeat visits are instant. • Goodreads and Amazon access is only requested when you switch them on, and you can switch them off again. Ebooks only — what Libby lends. Print books and audiobooks aren't checked. Borrowbook is a glitter.fyi project. Not affiliated with Libby, OverDrive, StoryGraph, Goodreads or Amazon.
