- How to use
-
Suffix this website address with a ISBN or EAN. That's it.
Example: http://isbn.net.in/9781449394707 - But I want to search for the book, I don't have an ISBN number...
-
When I created this, I had an explicit goal of not creating another search engine, I only wanted to compare prices for a book I already was interested to buy.
Use MySmartPrice or MyDiscountBay or IndiaBookStore or ThisYaThat instead. - So why isbn.net.in?
-
Because I built this before there were any good price comparison shops for India (like the list above). In fact, isbn.net.in inspired the creation of some of the sites listed above.
Besides, I built this for myself and for other book lovers. I did not build it for commercial purposes, so I have no vested interest in you using this site other than the reason of delight of using it. - Which stores do you search?
-
- bookadda
- crossword
- flipkart
- homeshop18
- infibeam
- News
- Is there a way to make it more automatic to use?
-
Yes, there is a bookmarklet. Follow the instructions:
-
Drag the following link to your browser's bookmarks toolbar:
Book Prices in India - Go to any random book page, for example, this O'Reilly book; Note that it also works with Indian ecommerce sites.
- Click on the bookmarklet (in your browser's bookmarks toolbar).
- You will now be taken to the corresponding page on isbn.net.in containing a sorted list of prices from different Indian online book stores.
