weRead Amazon Exporter

Script Summary: Inspects the weRead book shelf page for Amazon products and displays a list of ISBN or ASIN.

Why?

I discovered the weRead app on Facebook and spent some time logging books. I wanted to try Google's Books library which supports importing a list of comma-separated ISBNs. Since weRead doesn't support exporting your book shelf I wrote this script to show me ISBNs or ASINs parsed from the Amazon thumbnails.

Instructions

  • From Facebook: Visit weread.com and use the Connect button to log in via Facebook Connect.
  • Navigate to http://weread.com/manageshelf/index.php
  • To export just your "Read It" list, first click the link next to "Show All Books"
  • To export all your books, click "100" to view as many books as possible
  • You'll need to export each page since this script can only see one page at a time
  • Use the Export command from Greasemonkey's command list
