Ubiquity command for BookMooch

A couple of weeks ago I posted about Ubiquity, a new Firefox extension. Today I wrote my first command for it: mooch, which will search BookMooch for selected text on a page (or whatever you type in). If you’re using Ubiquity, you can now add the command to your installation. Enjoy! And please tell me if you find any issues.

  1. Hey I had never heard of bookmooch does it work well? Are there web books? That is about all I read.

  2. I love it. I trade a lot on it, but honestly the tech books are pretty rare. There are whatever books the members feel like giving away. You can create a wishlist and hang out for a while, see if any of your wishes turn up. You’ll get an email notification if they do.
