I added my first book AWS information and it isn't working.

Mode is set to universal. Do you need to use "books" mode for books?

Yes, I think so.

Yes, that was it. Minor fix.

I'm gonna sound exceptionally stupid here, but what does AWS stand for?

Where's the link at the end to "discuss this article" ?

Nice article. It's interesting to see how it's done using REST as I've been using SOAP. Seems an awful lot more complicated using REST though. Interesting to read about the caching too, as I don't do that yet. I didn't know there was a 1 second rule!! Few typos in there, but apart from that, a great job. Nice one Dan :)

A more ambitious project would be to download the AWS data into a local database, that way you would have total layout freedom (you wouldn't be stuck on the 10 item limit) and have improved protection from AWS outages. The possiblities are endless.

One problem with this though - if you display price data, Amazon's terms says it must be no older than one hour.

I figured it had something to do with Amazon, but wasn't sure :)

Thanks guys.
