Tomas Ortega (ID: 0000000234524960) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/05/2022 Works great!

icon

Isaac Rodriguez (ID: 000000085e0f89cd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/01/2022 Does exactly what it says. It finds books in your "Want To Read" list in Goodreads in your local library and allows you to check them out. If on top of that you use Libby or Kindle, you can check out the electronic version if is available. I'm saving quite a bit of money with this extension.

Bree (ID: 00000086ffc5c516) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/24/2022 The best thing since sliced bread! I love using this extension and don't understand why I never heard of it before. This handy tool will read your goodreads wishlist and search your e-library for 200 books in under 60 seconds. I love how handy this is! I just wish I could change which order it chose it's 200 books in because it just does the most recently added and I am someone with a "want to read" list of 500 books.

Michael “Bo” Driscoll (ID: 0000003f1c008b39) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/29/2021 Fantastic extension. Saved me frustrating hours of copy/pasting books into my Overdrive to figure out which books my library has or doesn't have. Much easier to just press a single button!

Bettie Griffith (ID: 0000001c0c5aa8c9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/02/2020 This is an elegant little extension that's quick and easy to use. It doesn't even need your logins, just your Goodreads profile number and your library's Overdrive URL. In fact, this is so useful and well done that I wish there was a donation link so I could further thank the developer.
