Extension summary
This extension lets you download:
- Lists of titles shown on a particular book details page in the Kindle Store. These may be 'Also Bought', 'Also Viewed', 'Books you may like', 'Products related to this item' or other names.
- Top 100 and Hot New Releases lists for an Amazon category page
- Search results (US store only right now, but other stores will be added soon)
Self-published authors on the Amazon Kindle Store can use this information to identify books similar to their own titles for research purposes. Currently the extension works on the US, UK, DE and Canada Amazon stores, but I'll look at adding support for others in future.
When the extension is loaded, you should see a button with a download icon appear next to the title lists ('carousels') in a Kindle Store book details page, as well as the Top 100s and Hot New Releases for a category, or the search results. Different pages may have one or more of these at different times and in different places, so if you don't see them, try another book, or the same book at another time.
To use the extension, click the button. You should see each page in the carousel load in turn, and when the end is reached, you should get a popup to download the file, or see the file automatically downloaded (depending on your browser settings).
Just added: support for downloading cover montages as well! When you download the book data, you'll get another prompt asking if you want to 'download multiple files'. Click 'Allow' and you'll get a JPEG file with a montage of all the covers for the book data you've downloaded. This can be really helpful to get an idea of cover conventions within a genre.
Book information is in a tab-delimited text file you can open in any spreadsheet program, and includes the following:
