Add to Goodreads from Amazon

Tired of splitting your reading wish-list between Amazon and GoodReads? Me too. Here’s an “Add to GoodReads” bookmarklet. Just highlight the code and drag it to your bookmark bar. You might have to right-click->Edit to give it a title like “Add to GoodReads”. This should work from Amazon product detail pages where you would otherwise click “Add to Wish List”.

javascript: var array = document.URL.match(/amazon\.(.*?)\/.*?\/([^/]{10})/); if (array == null) { alert('Sorry, this doesn\'t appear to be an Amazon book page.'); } else { var x = window.open('http://www.goodreads.com/review/isbn/'+ array%5B2%5D + '?tld=' + array%5B1%5D + '&from=bm', 'add_review'); x.focus(); }

Instead of adding books to your Amazon Wish List, you can now add them to Goodreads instead. Yay!

Happy reading!

codyray,
Your code seems to have recently stopped working…. any ideas what may have happened?

Thanks,

  This bookmarklet still works perfect for me. Did it start working for you again?

Hey, this is very cool and thanks for sharing. Just want to let you know it also isn’t working for me. Going from a book page I end up at https://www.goodreads.com/search with no fields prepopulated. I can’t post screenshots here but feel free to email me for a better bug report if you want. Smith Adam Carl Gmail.
