Buy This Book WordPress Plugin
Buy This Book allows authors to display their books on their website with links to six different possible buying options - Amazon, Kobo, Barnes &
Buy This Book is a WordPress plugin designed for authors. It was created to combat three problems:
- Many authors use things like the Amazon Affiliate widget to display their books, which is stripped out of webpages by adblockers. This results in their books never being seen by a significant chunk of users, as adblockers are the most popular plugins for Chrome and Firefox.
- If authors want to just add their books and a link to Amazon, etc, they’re obliged to know some HTML and it’s something of a pain in the ass.
- Neither option is ideal when books can be available on multiple websites.
Buy This Book takes cover images and up to seven websites, and displays them on the sidebar with a slideout menu.
It supports:
- Amazon
- Kobo
- Barnes & Noble
- Smashwords
- Lulu
- iBooks
