Weelll, I’ve just managed to install MTAmazon and MT-Bookqueue and it’s all going well. This Amazon web-api is pretty cool. The flexibility of their XML API is nice. I took MTAmazon and hacked it to use amazon.co.uk data instead of US data, handy as I’m in the UK and most of the books I buy are from amazon.co.uk. There were a few tricky bits as the docs on amazon and their xml error messages were at time a little misleading. Go to amazon.co.uk/webservices and it redirects you to amazon.com, then the localisation options they give you on .com dont work properly. Simple enough though all you need is to use the amazon.co.uk URL with a locale=uk tacked on the end (if you dont use this extra parameter then it defaults to US and throws an error, duh!).
