Extension summary

Very simple extension that allows you to add a book to either your "to-read", "currently reading", or "read" shelf without leaving the page you are on. This extension is designed to work on individual product pages, and does just that for most popular sites such as Powells, Google Books, Amazon, and plenty of smaller Web sites.

How it works: This extension loads the "Add to My Books" widget (http://www.goodreads.com/api/atmb_widget) using an ISBN number scraped from the current tab. It isn't designed for pages with multiple ISBN numbers, and will simply choose the first valid ISBN it sees. Since it isn't limited to a specific book site, it requires the "Your data on all websites" and "Your tabs and browsing activity" permissions.

Not working says no isbn when there clearly is one on amazon

Throws an error on the console, it is not working either.

I actually quite like the utility of this extension, except that recently it has started throwing a lot of errors for "couldn't find an ISBN on the webpage". I understand that this is important for indexing, but it would be nice if it popped up a couple of title matches so I could pick one to add, so I don't have to do it all manually. The most recent one was a pre-release page on Amazon, which should probably be manageable for the extension/site... easy to scrape for data.
