I can't find a book in Fable. Can a book be added?
While Fable has a catalog of millions of books, there are still some that might not be available yet. If that’s the case for a book you want to read, you can use our beta Fable Chrome Extension or fill out our Book Request Form.
If you'd like to try out the extension, download the Fable Chrome Extension to your desktop Chrome browser.
To install the Fable Chrome Browser extension:
- Ensure you are using a Chrome browser. If you are not, you can install it here: https://www.google.com/chrome/dr/download
- Open your Chrome browser.
- Open the Chrome Web Store: You can access it by going to the Chrome Web Store's URL or by searching for "Chrome Web Store" in your browser.
- Search for Fable. Click on the Fable browser extension and click 'Add to Chrome'.
- Once added, you should be able to add the extension to your Fable icon in your browser bar.
- Click on the Extensions icon in your Chrome browser bar.
- Click on the 'pin' to pin the Fable extension to your browser bar
- You should now see the Fable icon in the upper right corner of your browser
To use the Fable Chrome Browser extension:
- Find a book listing that shows the ISBN or ASIN, Author, Title, cover image of a book. For example: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216351768-the-let-them-theory
- Click on your Fable extension in your Chrome browser.
- Sign In if you are not currently signed in.
- Select the book to be added. You will see a green check appear on the book cover image
- Select a list that you want the book added to and click Submit.
- If the book already exists in our Fable catalog, the book will be added to your list.
- If the book does not already exist in our Fable catalog, the book will be added to our catalog and added to your list.
A few things to note:
- At this time you'll only be able to add books if the page includes ISBN or ASIN.
- The extension currently only recognizes books from a single book listing and won't be able to add books from book lists.
- When you use the extension, you'll see the title, author, and cover of the book added immediately. Additional details will be added shortly!
This tool is still in beta, so if you do run into any issues or have feedback, please let us know at support@fable.co.
