Do you review books or refer to them in your posts?  Are you an Amazon affiliate?

If so, I recommend the WordPress plugin, AmazonSimpleAdmin.

The plugin homepage says that it only works with PHP 5, but I’ve had success on my sites that — according to my hosting service — are running PHP 4.3.4 with Zend Optimizer.

Also, if your book display is in German but you want English or French or another language, change the text to your preferred language in two files:  In the plugin folder, open the tpl folder.  In there, change the text in two documents: default.htm and book.htm.

Since my sites are in English, here’s how I changed part of the code.  My changes are in bold type.

ISBN: {$ISBN}</p>
<p><strong>Price:</strong> <span style=”color: #990000; font-weight: bold;”>{$AmazonCurrency} {$AmazonPrice}</span><br />
{$TotalOffers} copies starting at

The plugin seems to be working very nicely with my Amazon affiliate code (entered in Options > AmazonSimpleAdmin  or Settings > AmazonSimpleAdmin, depending upon which WP you’re using).
