// @name		Newzbin V3 in Amazon - Updated
// @namespace	http://www.google.com
// @description	Puts links to search newzBin v3 into Amazon
// @include	http*//*amazon.co*
// ==/UserScript==
//-----------------------------------
//
// The original idea was taken from Newzbin in Amazon V3 (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5495) by andyg
// I installed it but it did not work. I took some code from there and reworked other parts to make it work again.
//
// I then enhanced it by cutting off the title descriptors (such as year, widescreen, blu-ray, etc), I found another script
// that did such an implementation in Newzbin + SABnzbd in Amazon (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8232) by Mr Scripts
// so acknowledgements to him for that code.
