Years ago bestselling author Aaron Shepard created an Amazon Sales Rank website for all “Amazon Countries”.  He has been making big changes now at Sales Rank Express, which is not only a sales rank checker, book monitor, but also a market research tool.  

Shepard writes: “While it has long been usable only on desktops and laptops, I have finally redesigned it to adapt to the smaller screens and often slower connections of tablets and phones.  Now you can use it just about anywhere.  At the same time, I’ve cleared up a number of browser incompatibilities, so the site works better than it has for years.”

Check Out This Useful Tool.
Go to http://www.salesrankexpress.com/ and find a button “Guide Me” – which is almost not necessary, due to the easy handling.   You only choose the country in which you want to search for your sales rank the ISBN or ASIN of your book, the title or author or publisher, the format of your book, what you intend to know: sales ranking, price ranking, reviewer rating etc.

.
Sales Rank Express Offers 3 Views:

  •  Standard.
    This view, the default, gives you all the info that Sales Rank Express can offer. It is especially suited to desktop and laptop computers.
  • Lite.
    This view omits two special features that are inserted from outside sources—tracking charts and review stats. These features can significantly slow down Sales Rank Express, so you might choose this view if you’re on a slow connection or an older device. It’s especially suited to tablets.
  • Mini.
    This view, the fastest and most compact, leaves only enough data for rank checking. It’s especially suited to smartphones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aaron Shepard’s Sales Rank Express has a comprehensive FAQ page – where I found for example that it is better to enter only enough info to bring up the book or books you need.   Shepard advices: “Almost any individual book can be brought up with a last name in the Author box plus two or three keywords in the Title box. If you instead fill in the complete author name and the full title—and if Amazon happens to list one or the other slightly differently—then the book might not come up.
.
Likewise, if you search for a single book by ISBN or ASIN, do not fill in any other box. Sales Rank Express even helps you correct any errors of Amazon’s that you spot! One of the chief advantages of Sales Rank Express is its international scope.
.
You can just as easily check your books on Amazon in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Spain, France, Italy, Germany, India, Japan, or China.  And most of the info is yours without knowing any language other than English.  Sales Rank Express works by collecting and organizing data from Amazon’s Product Advertising API.
.
The site is completely free to use, as much and as often as you like. Don’t miss to read the New York Times article  about this useful rank tool, or Seth Godin’s blog  or the one by GalleyCat.
