Monitoring and Watching for New Releases By Favorite Authors
OK. It is a plugin to which you can add the names of the authors to a tracking grid that will track those authors for new releases. You can either right click the authors of books you already own to add those authors, or manually add them. It polls and tracks all sources through Get Books, but critically it handles Amazon Kindle Exclusive authors a little better by parsing their author ASINs and using that for disambiguation, as well as book tracking. It will show you if a new book is found and have a direct link to that book. Plus for those authors for whom you do not have all of their works, it will show you a list of your missing books.
It will give you links to their books to purchase, as well as tie in to the Libby plugin to search for the book in the libraries to which you belong.
I have a lot of authors, especially Kindle Exclusive authors that I track. They often release several books a month and I would rather not waste time skimming 20 different author pages on Amazon or subscribe to tons of author email alerts to find the new stuff.
I'll see if I can add screenshots to here.
