100 Million Books for Firefox

Whether you prefer an e-book or a physical book, there is no doubt that reading opens up new worlds and fascinating story universes. If you are a book lover, then you most probably are constantly on the lookout for titles that are worth grabbing. Look no more, as the 100 Million Books extension for Firefox is here to help you discover books that any avid reader should have in their personal collection.

What this add-on practically does is change the purpose of any new tab you open in the Firefox browser. To be more specific, it turns a new tab from a blank page waiting for you to type in the URL into a book review.

The 100 Million Books extension browses a large database of titles, displaying the book cover, along with useful links to purchase the book or read more about it on popular websites. It also reveals an extensive description of the plot, along with the book snippet.

The extension is an open-source project to which you can contribute by suggesting new titles and book snippets to enrich the book collection.

The new tab page also bundles a button to reveal the latest 20 recommended books and a simple way to create favorite lists. The suggestions can be updated every 3 seconds, 30 minutes, 3 or 30 hours.

Aside from book suggestions, you can also use this extension to turn the new tab page into a speed dial page, which enables you to quickly go to websites you are frequently accessing.

The idea behind the 100 Million Books is quite clever and inspired. We probably open new tabs every time we want to browse to an Internet page. Why not turn this experience into a way to find books that are in the top charts? Nevertheless, reading about new titles can be quite captivating so be careful not to let yourself be distracted.
