P.J. Cherubino (ID: 0000008cd763238c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/13/2018 Extremely useful extension for indie authors or avid readers.

R. Brady Frost (ID: 00000090194a1768) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/28/2018 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.
