Get My Newest eBook (About the Best Chrome Extensions) For Free Today Only!

May 23, 2012

I thought I’d try something new with my latest ebook. Instead of launching it normally (i.e., as a paid product), I’d launch it for a day only as a free download.

The 138 Best Chrome Extensions

My newest ebook, The 138 Best Chrome Extensions.

[Note 1: If you came from Reddit, click here to go straight to the book. Sorry!]

[Note 2: It might not be free for you, depending on your country. If it isn't free at the Amazon.com link below, search for it on your local Amazon store, like Amazon.es, or Amazon.fr.]

It’s called The 138 Best Chrome Extensions. The book was originally going to be The 101 Best Chrome Extensions, but there were too many good ones to leave out. It’s a Kindle book, but you don’t need a Kindle to read it. There are a bunch of free apps available for other devices (including Windows PC, Mac, Android device, iPhone, iPad, etc.). There’s even a free web app if you don’t have those devices and want to read it in your browser. Just go to read.amazon.com after you download it and you can read it right there in your browser.

Here’s the thing. It is free today only on Amazon as a Kindle book. But I ask that if you download it, you solemnly swear that you will leave a review of the the book on Amazon ASAP. When I normally launch a new Kindle book, the book is full-priced right from the start. If I get a lot of reviews on this ebook quickly by offering it for free, I’ll have a free period for all of my subsequent ebooks.

So please, do me a favor and do yourself a favor. Download this ebook and leave an honest review as soon as you can. It could mean that you’ll have the opportunity to get all of my future ebooks for free. 

Click here to be taken to the ebook’s page on Amazon. That’s also where you can find out more about the book itself, like how long it is and what kinds of extensions have been included. Let me just say here that I installed hundreds and hundreds of extensions before finding these 138. They’re freaking awesome, and I am not exaggerating when I say that some of them have changed my life. They will save you time, make your life easier, and yes, even save you money.

If you don’t want to download it and read it and review it, at the very least, go to the product page and click the “like” button next below the title (it’s different from a Facebook like).

Thanks!

Oh, and what do you think of that cover? It’s my favorite ebook cover that I’ve done so far :)

Again, go here to download the book.

I have to say that Google Chrome extensions are very hard to understand sometimes that is why I wanted to know about them and what can they do to help me. Your E-Book seems very comprehensive (as I see from the preview of it in Amazon) so this can be a good one to read about. I will get it!

Hey Tristan,

First time reader to your blog and decided to buy the book about chrome extension. It was a great read but there was issue with the book. The first induction page duplicated and I had 2 introduction pages back to back. I am not sure if it’s a problem with my kindle or an issue with the first page of the book.

Just wanted to say again, I loved the book and I really enjoyed your contribution in “Engagement From Scratch” which was the reason I first starting reading your blog today.

Hey Derek, thanks for stopping by! As a new blog reader, do you have anything in particular you’d like me to talk about?

Huh, that’s weird that you had an issue with the Chrome ebook’s introduction. I just looked at it on Amazon’s Cloud Reader, on my Kindle 4, and on my Kindle Fire, and everything showed up normally on all three. What type/version of Kindle do you have? Maybe the problem would fix itself if you deleted it from your Kindle and re-downloaded it from your book archive?

Thanks for the feedback, and I’m glad you liked the book! I’d really appreciate it if you left a review on Amazon. Let me know if you need anything.

Good Afternoon Tristan,

I a working my way through older articles of yours and at this moment I have no request for a particular subject, thanks for asking though. :)

I am using the Kindle app for Android and I deleted the book and re-downloaded it and noticed when I go to the next page from the introduction it looks fine but if I go back a page to the introduction it duplicates it. So that means it is a fault in the Kindle App. Looks like they have a bugs to still iron our in their coding…

Thanks for the reply and just want to say I look forward to future post.

Hey Tristan, you should add these two chrome extensions to the list.

Xmarks and Springpad.

Xmarks is a great bookmark syncing software for people who use multiple computers or devices and want to keep their bookmarks synced across all devices. Xmarks also syncs Firefox bookmarks and chrome bookmarks together.

Springpad is a notepad extension/app that syncs across all your devices and keeps all your notes in one place on the cloud. You can save images as notes, make collections and they offer other ways to organize such as tagging and so on.

I love these extension and use them every day.

Awesome, Derek. I’ll keep them in mind for the next edition. Thanks!
