Reviews & Comments of Available Reads chrome extension

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.

Works beautifully! Helps me so much for finding books available on libby

I have used this extension for years. Thank you for this

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.

Perfect.

LOVE THIS EXTENSION! It makes finding books that are available on Overdrive a breeze. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

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 is so incredible!!! Saves me so much time!

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!

supports only Overdrive, which in turn means it doesn't support paper books availability. Probably good extension for those who look for ebook or audio books in the libraries.

Well this is great, though a bit non-intuitive to set up. Be aware that the search is literal - eg. I had just returned Seamus Heaney Beowulf to my library, so I knew the library had it for loan. But this extension couldn't find it because (I think) the Goodreads listing said Beowulf unknown Seamus Heaney - that is, the original Beowulf author is unknown. I suppose that isn't how it is listed in the library catalogue. But overall (one you've worked out which column gives Overdrive availability) is terrific

I use this extension almost every day, absolutely fantastic integration directly into the Goodreads site. The differentiation between ebook and audiobook is especially appreciated.

Fantastic add-on. Make locating available books so much easier

Works great! Makes looking for ebooks so much easier

I love this extension! It saved me so much time and effort. No more jumping back and forth between Goodreads and my Library pages. The design is simple, non-intrusive, fast, and well thought out. This should be integrated into Goodreads by default. Thank you!

Works perfectly.

This extension has saved me so much time and has made picking books to read easier and less frustrating.

Took me a few tries but I got it working and love it! Thanks for developing this, it's so useful!

I've been hoping for something exactly like this!! Thank you!!

Where has this extension been all my life! If you are a book nerd like me you will love this add-on. I will say that you may have to refresh the browser a few times if it says a book cannot be found, especially a popular book. Just refresh one or twice and that should help.

Amazing! Really clean and helpful way to see if your local library has the books you want to read. It will save you a ton of money!

Wonderful. Worked right out of the box!

Wow - its amazing!! RHollister you just made my life super easy! Thanks for building this..

Thank you so much - this is incredibly helpful!

I hate to give it a bad review but it didn't work. It would say the book wasn't found for every book even those I knew were in the overdrive library. If I clicked to used the new overdrive it would list a ton of different books for each book that are in no way related to the book I was looking at. It is strange Hopefully the bugs get worked out I would love to use it.

this is seriously amazing. thank you, rhollister! it just WORKS!

This is the exact tool I was looking for. It works perfectly. Thank you for reading my mind (and my books!)

Fav app, has saved me quite a bit of money by knowing when a book is available at my library in ebook.

A wonderful extension! I switched browsers for it :) Incredibly helpful and well-done. A suggested future enhancement would be if search.overdrive.com could also be an option, in addition to specific local libraries; seeing whether or not a title exists in the overdrive catalog helps determine whether it can be suggested for purchase for the local system.

Great for checking if my libraries have ebooks available that I have on my want to read list.

I have been dying for a way to check my Goodreads list against my two libraries' availability on OverDrive. I was THRILLED to stumble across this extension during a frustrated Google search. So tired of having two windows open between Goodreads & my library to see what each one has. THANK YOU.

I loved this extension - until last week when it completely disappeared from GoodReads. I checked settings, then uninstalled & reinstalled. Still not working, which is a shame. Would have rated it 5 stars, until it quit working. If it gets fixed, 5 stars and highly recommend.

Amazing! very very useful.

Works great - thanks!

AWESOME! Thank you for creating this! A must have for any Goodreads+Overdrive user.

You sir are a book lovers best friend. THANK YOU!!! You have saved me so much time.

This is all kinds of fantastic.

I AM SOOOOO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR MAD SKILLZ!!!!!!! I have been looking and looking and looking and even thought about trying to learn to make apps because I wanted a program to do this. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Wish I had found this earlier!

This is INCREDIBLE. I've been trying to find a way to do this forever. I'm so grateful!

Game. Changer. Even the tech-challenged people like me will be able to add their library/libraries. ABSOLUTELY amazing.

This is a great extension! It could only be improved if it had a sort function, allowing you to sort by available, hold, and not found.

This app is fantastic and I use it on all 3 of my pcs - work, home laptop, and home desktop - I would be lost without it!

I love Goodreads and libraries, so this is a match made in heaven for me.

Great!

I'm not tech savvy but I was still able to set it up. At first I was looking for some annoying popup but it shows like it belongs on the pages in goodreads. It's really nice to have there and I imagine I'll be saving lots and finally getting more good use from my library. Definitely WAAAY better than the library search functions.

I have wanted something like this for so long! It is awesome! Thank you!!!

I'm gobsmacked! This one extension by itself would be reason enough for me to use Chrome, if it wasnt already my primary browser. So much more useful than my library's own catalog.

It works!
