Amazon look inside / search inside features

I would be really thrilled if Amazon.com references imported from Reference Miner included links to the book's page on Amazon.

Amazon.com has done a great job of improving "Look Inside" and with the new "Search Inside" feature, we could easily find individual quotes without running the search all over again on Amazon. This would be a wonderful way to get one-click access from Bookends database to information about the book.

Am I the only one who would use such a feature if we had it?

Hi remold,

I'll have to look into this. I'm not sure that that information is available via the Amazon web services interface. If it is, though, it should be possible to import it..
