Hi Jonathan: I know that Amazon images return headers... so... I thought if I could decipher the link pattern to their "search inside" images (you know, those little arrow deals), that would be the ticket-- and I did. However, it also returned the "search inside" image even when there was no contents for the reader. Apparently Amazon generates those images on-the-fly with the code in the image url. I guess its back to screen-scraping... Charles Jonathan Rochkind wrote: > Charles, have you come up with good ways to do this? > > Jonathan >
