Overview

As of Aug 15 2009, Amazon API calls will require a secret key from Amazon.

If you are unable to get such an account/key, this service can still be used
for certain functions by setting 'make_aws_call' to false, and configuring
'service_types' to only include one or more of:  ["search_inside",
"highlighted_link", "excerpts"]
Other services, such as enhance_referent and cover_image require api access.

More about registering for and finding your AWS access key and secret key
can be found here:

docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/AWSCredentials.html docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/ViewingCredentials.html

 services.yml params:
 api_key:    required. AWS "access key". 
 secret_key:  required unless make_aws_call==false. AWS "secret access key". 
 associate_tag: required unless make_aws_call==false. Now required by Amazon API. 
                sign up for an associates_id at: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/
                it's the same thing as your 'associate id'. 
 service_types: Optional. Array of strings of service type values to be
                loaded, to over-ride defaults.
 make_aws_call:  default true.   If false, then either uses an ASIN stored
                   in referent from previous service, or tries assuming
                   that an ISBN, if present, is the ASIN. 
                   of services ran an amazon service adaptor
                   Can be used to split amazon into
                   two waves, since highlighted_link and cover_image
                   calls require _another_ HTTP request to amazon
                   and screen scrape. Or can be used if you don't
                   have access to Amazon API. 

See example of two-wave amazon in config/umlaut_distribution/services.yml-dist.

amazon is in the habit of including things in parens at the end of the title that aren’t really part of the title. The parens are really an edition and/or series statement. We have nowhere good to store that.
