Learn about the Burro
Q What is Book Burro?
A Book Burro is a Web 2.0 extension for Firefox and Flock. When it senses your are looking at a page that contains a book, it will overlay a small panel which when opened lists prices at online bookstores such as Amazon, Buy, Half (and many more) and soon whether the book is available at your library.
Q What is the connection with Greasemonkey?
A Book Burro was created as a script for Greasemonkey, another extension, but has since grown to be an extension of its own (enabling a preference panel and caching). Besides adding functionality the switch makes installation easier. The greasemonkey script is still available here.
Q Is it spyware/adware?
A No! The end user must install it and it requires the user to click the panel each time it is run. Also, removing Book Burro is as easy to remove as any other extension.
Q You use affiliate codes?
A Yes, these codes maintain your anonymity while providing us funds for further development. If you having issues (technical or otherwise) with the affiliate codes, you will be able to disable them in the preferences panel. We hope that you enjoy it enough to leave the affiliate codes enabled.
