Review: Good - script works

Amazon Look Inside breaking

Under Greasemonkey in Firefox, the script appears to break the Look Inside feature for books. The address bar appears to flash an Amazon URL with an anchor that is quickly cleaned and replaced. Disabling the script allows the feature to work. In Chrome, Look Inside works fine with the script running under Tampermonkey.

Can you give an example of a URL it breaks?

Look Inside at https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671631985/ doesn't work for me.

OK, I finally got time to have a look at this. I just needed to stop it deleting the hash if it starts with "#reader_", by replacing the standard deleteHash(); function for Amazon with this: onhashchange = function() { if (!loc.hash.startsWith('#reader_')) history.replaceState(null,null,loc.href.replace(loc.hash,'')); };

Excellent. Thanks for the good work.
