Bookindy – Browse Amazon, buy independent Extension

This extension works for Amazon UK only. US, Canada, Australia and Germany in the works.

Amazon isn’t always cheaper than your local bookshop – You could use Bookindy to ensure you’re buying at the cheapest price.

Books are sometimes out of stock on Amazon, but in stock at your local bookshop – You could use Bookindy to buy a book before it’s restocked on Amazon.

Bookindy uses a brilliant service for independent bookshops called Hive, who deliver books directly from the wholesaler. Whether you pick up or get it delivered, your local bookshop benefits. You could use Bookindy to support your local independent bookshop and never actually visit it! 

Install and see for yourself.

Peter Emerson (ID: 000000eaa8818315) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/01/2023 It just doesn't work. No difference to Amazon at all.

Louise Sanderson (ID: 000000beafb2a286) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/30/2020 It does not work. I have looked for several well known books and there is no option to collect form local bookstore. Very disappointing.

Alex Gibson (ID: 000000c5ec2a53f3) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/27/2020 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...

Andreja Nad (ID: 000000464f552be6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/03/2017 Very cool - I can support my local independent bookstores.

al fox (ID: 0000000b65875112) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/28/2016 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.
