It just doesn't work. No difference to Amazon at all. | |

It does not work. I have looked for several well known books and there is no option to collect form local bookstore. Very disappointing. | |

It looks like this extension hasn't been in development for a while, so this may be a moot point. It used to work so well (5 stars!) but it looks as if Amazon has found a way to block it. On top of that, I have just realised today that the extension being enabled is the cause of some frustrating issues I've been having with Amazon since the start of lockdown, i.e. only able to view the first product image and clicking images reveals a large blank white pop-up which then freezes over the rest of the page until it is manually refreshed. Disable the extension and the problem goes away... | |

We all know why we should question purchasing from Amazon. Have used this for a while and it's a great addition. I often find that the book is actually cheaper. | |

Highly useful for broke students trying to still read as much as possible :) Can't wait to see it be expanded to other countries | |

Cheaper at my local store... "506 miles" away. Can't even do metric? | |

Great idea. Wish I'd thought of it! And an eye-opener to find bookstore prices cheaper than Amazon. |
