Regalzeile for Chrome

Regalzeile for Chrome is a browser extension: books you order from Amazon (.de, .ch, .com, .co.uk, .fr, .it, .es), ZVAB or AbeBooks land on the wishlist as wishes with the status “Ordered” — with price, condition, seller and order number. When the book arrives, click “Arrived” there: Regalzeile creates the item and carries the purchase details into the copy. Ex Libris and Orell Füssli follow in a later version. The extension is available from the Plus plan; members and owners can add books. Readers see “You can only read in this library.” in the window.

Install

1. The extension will be available in the Chrome Web Store soon. There you then click “Add to Chrome”.
2. Pin the Regalzeile icon to the toolbar (puzzle piece → pin) and click it. Click “Connect to Regalzeile”, sign in, choose the library and click “Allow”. As when connecting an AI assistant, you’ll receive an email “New connection”.
3. After your purchase, click the icon on the shop’s thank-you page — or later in “My orders” (AbeBooks, ZVAB) or in the order details (Amazon).

Add books

The window lists the books it found, grouped by order, each with a checkbox; only the books of the most recent order are ticked in advance. A chip says what adding will do: “On the wishlist → Ordered” (the existing wish is marked as ordered), “New on the wishlist, Ordered”, “Already in your library”, “No ISBN” or “Kindle — cannot be added” (e-books stay out). Under “Details” you adjust price, currency, condition, seller, order number and note. The button “Add 3 books” enters the ticked books. With the keyboard: Space ticks or unticks the row, Enter adds.

If the shop gives no ISBN — common with second-hand booksellers —, Regalzeile creates the wish with a placeholder; the wishlist then shows “no ISBN”. Title and author come from the order.

What the extension reads

When a shop page loads, the extension only checks whether it lists ordered items and shows their number on its icon; that stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to Regalzeile until you tick books in the window and click “add” — never the delivery address, payment method or anything else on the page.

Disconnect

In the extension’s window, “Sign out” signs it out. Under Settings → Connected apps Regalzeile for Chrome is listed like any connected assistant; “Disconnect” revokes access immediately.
