isbn.net.in – A Quick way to search for online book prices in India

• Searches multiple Indian ecommerce stores on-the-fly for book prices for given ISBN (the industry-standard number for any published book).
• Just go to http://isbn.net.in/0142000280 as an example. Replace “0142000280” with any other ISBN and it will fetch and show you the latest prices.
• While you’re waiting for the prices, you can also read the description of the book, see the book cover and read the reviews of the book.
• All in all, a quick way of knowing how much the book costs and whether it is worth considering to buy.

• Written using Rails 3.
• Open source. Visit https://github.com/swaroopch/isbnnetin for the source code (Apache license).
