Thanks to Lorcan Dempsey for spotting the script is broken (due to a change in the the Amazon UK HTML). I've fixed the script and a new version is available here.

Dave,

Thank you, I will try to figure things out using the original script as you suggest.

Hi Steve

I had to make quite a few changes (especially in the "insertLink" section) to make it work with the UK site.

Probably the easiest thing to do is to compare it with Carrick's original script (which is designed for the US site) to see what's different.

Hope that helps!

Dave, this and other stuff you've been working with is fascinating. I've been trying today to modify your script to do the same for Amazon (US) and can't get it to work. It works fine using my local catalog and pointing to Amazon (UK). What am I missing?

Dave – I just did an equivalent script for Google Book Search – it was minimal changes to the Amazon script to get things to work. Check out my blog http://vielmetti.typepad.com/superpatron for the details.
