Hello HN!
A couple of months ago I got frustrated with always having to copy and paste the titles of books posted on Twitter to find them on my local Amazon, since authors usually only post the US Amazon link. I also want to add books to my Goodreads to-read bookshelf, so I have to search for it there too.
So I built something that could solve this problem!
https://boook.link https://boook.link is a web-based tool for creating one single link / landing page for a book, so your readers can choose from which store to buy your book.
It also automatically converts the Amazon link to the reader’s local Amazon store.
Take a look at a couple examples:
https://boook.link/Severance https://boook.link/Severance
https://boook.link/Fleishman https://boook.link/Fleishman
https://boook.link/TheIdiot https://boook.link/TheIdiot
https://boook.link/Sourdough https://boook.link/Sourdough
Here’s how it works:
1. Copy and paste your books ISBN
2. We automatically fetch all the information for your book
3. We generate links to all major book retailers
4. Customize any links you want, add your personal website and Twitter account
5. Get a cool shortlink like https://boook.link/Sourdough https://boook.link/Sourdough
6. Make your readers happy and increase your sales
Right now we automatically support the following stores:
Amazon
IndieBound
Bookshop.org
Apple Books
Google Play Books
Barnes & Noble
Abe Books
Book Depository
Alibris
Indigo
Better World Books
WorldCat (for local libraries)
GoodReads
For Amazon we can also add your affiliate tag automatically for each country. There’s also a built-in automatic Amazon link converter (similar to what geniuslink does) if you run a website with a large amount of Amazon links and want to convert them for your visitors automatically.
- replies-to-fool 6y agoThis looks really cool! Would you consider adding support for embedding this as a widget? This will make it easier to integrate on author's websites.
- electriclove 6y agoAre you able to pull prices into that page too? Almost like BestBookBuys from back in the day :)
- misterpriest 6y agoLooks great! Can you add the option to not automatically convert to local amazon? I have all my books on the US amazon and still use it rather than converting to the Australian one (which I don’t want to do). Maybe add a chrome extension so I can click a link to the Goodreads page while I’m on the amazon page?
