About BundleWorthIt

A free tool for readers who want to know what they're getting before they buy.

Why this exists

Humble Bundle regularly offers collections of ebooks at pay-what-you-want prices, with proceeds going to charity. The bundles are a great deal — but figuring out whether the individual books are any good used to mean opening dozens of tabs and searching for each title one by one. That gets old fast when a bundle has fifteen or twenty books in it.

BundleWorthIt was built to fix that. It lists every book in a bundle and links you straight to reviews — so you can quickly get a sense of what's worth reading without all the tab juggling.

The URL trick

The fastest way to use the site: when you're browsing a bundle on Humble Bundle, swap humblebundle.com for bundleworthit.com in your address bar. The rest of the URL stays the same and you'll land straight on the reviews page for that bundle.

Where the reviews come from

We don't host any reviews ourselves. Instead we generate links to sites like Goodreads, Amazon, and Hardcover based on the book's title and other metadata. We want to be good internet citizens — scraping reviews would go against the terms of service of those platforms, so we simply point you in the right direction. If you're looking for a book tracking community, we'd especially recommend Hardcover — it's an open platform built by readers, for readers.

Because the links are generated from book information rather than curated by hand, they can sometimes miss — you might land on the wrong edition or a search page instead of the exact book. If a link looks off, searching the title yourself will usually get you there.

It's also worth noting that this site works best for regular books. Humble Bundle often includes comics and audiobooks in their collections, and review coverage for those tends to be spottier — the sources we link to are primarily geared toward traditional books, even if everything in a bundle is digital.

No affiliation

BundleWorthIt is an independent project. We have no affiliation with Humble Bundle, any publisher, or any review platform. There are no affiliate links, no ads, and no tracking. The site exists for one reason: to help readers make better decisions about which bundles to buy.
