E41st - A Timesaving Tool

| | Comments (1)

Ever see a book on Amazon and check if your local library has a copy to borrow rather than purchase it? Or even peruse titles at a Barnes & Noble and later search for them on Amazon or at your library? We've all heard the saying, "You can't judge a book by its cover" and the best way to decide whether a book is worth the time to read is through other people's feedback. Amazon's rating and feedback system helps make that decision easier. But sometimes it makes more economical sense to borrow at the library before deciding whether the book is worth purchasing.

Browsing titles on Amazon and then searching your library's online catalog can be quite cumbersome. Sometimes you may need to search more than one library to see if they have the book. Switching back and forth between windows or tabs gets messy and time consuming especially when entering the title in several different library systems.

Save time searching and browsing with E41st - a great timesaving tool that does all the above in one place. E41st is a rich internet application that combines the power of Amazon's feedback system and your local library's catalog search engine to find books you want with just a few clicks of the mouse. The application provides a convenient breakdown of all the genres and even displays the book covers in an easy to scroll window. Clicking on a book cover gives you comments from Amazon purchasers and rating. If you're interested, you can choose to purchase from Amazon or search in your library. You can even select up to two libraries to search and get a list of similar titles. I wish I had found this app sooner!
