allconsuming.net amazon bookmarklet

07 September, 2004

[consume!](javascript:b=document.getElementsByTagName('b');for(var n=0;n<b.length;n++){if (b[n].innerHTML=='ISBN:'){i=b[n].nextSibling.nodeValue.replace(/^s+/g, '').replace(/s+$/g, '');location.href='http://www.allconsuming.net/item.cgi?isbn='+i;}} "consume!") is a bookmarklet for using allconsuming.net with amazon.com and amazon.co.uk

Just drag the link above to your browser toolbar and then when you’re viewing a book description page on Amazon click it and you’ll be taken to the “add this book to your collection” page on allconsuming.net. Add a reading status and a comment, hit “save” and you’re done. Massively sped-up book consuming!

I freely admit I’m not the world’s best javascript hacker, so if there are improvements that can be made (especially to the regexes, which work, but only just about) please let me know!

I needed this exact thing. Thanks. I’m fed up with going into All Consuming and digging around to add things to my list.

Yes, the interface to allconsuming isn’t exactly the easiest thing in the world to navigate.

I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve modified your javascript code to use it to add books to BiblioPhil.org

No problem at all, great news, I thought it would be far harder to convert!
