How to import more than 100 references

Post by 10dency »

Hi,

I just wanted to create a database with all books on the topic "Photoshop" available on Amazon. Search no problem. But how do I import them all? All the time I get this damn dialogue where I can only select to load 100 hits as a maximum. So I can load 100 of just over 1000. :-/ How can I find, display and import the rest of these books? If I search again, I just find the same books again and only import duplicates. And here is no obvious option "Load next 100" or "Find next 100" or even better "Load and import all".

Am I missing something?

How can I do that without getting mad? ;-)

Thanks,

Olaf

The 100 reference limit on searches using Amazon's Web Services is enforced by Amazon, not Bookends. (it used to be unlimited, then 1200, and now 100 references). They obviously don't want people (or worse, web bots) mining their database.
