Extremely useful extension for indie authors or avid readers.

I really enjoy the added information this plugin provides. Seeing page numbers on Amazon doesn't help me get a good idea of a book's actual length, but seeing the approximate word count helps put it in perspective. Also ranking info, etc. is super awesome to have handy.
