Blinkist (Unofficial) Extension

This is an unofficial chrome extension for Blinkist. I personally love using Blinkist and created this extension to easily find Blinkist version of books.

It adds a button/link to Goodreads.com and Amazon.com book details page.

The link leads to the Blinkist page for the same book if it exists. It's a convenient way for users to discover Blinklist's version while checking out the books on Goodreads.com and Amazon.com.
