Amazon Wishlist Library Linky
Search the Seattle Public Library Catalog from your Amazon Wishlist.
Check whether books in your Amazon wish list are available in the Seattle Public Library.
This script not only checks the version of the book you added to the wishlist, it also looks for different versions of the book (hard cover, paper back, different releases) and checks those as well. It is color coded so you can easily see the state of the book at the library, and then you can click on the link to reserve it.
v1.2 - Works with Amazon's new page layout as of 6/19/08 (strong replaced bold).
v1.1 - Works with Amazon's new page layout of 11/07. No longer displays versions of the item that are not in library system.
v1.01 - Handle the new way 0 holds are being displayed by SPL.

Hi Kimball,
Sorry to hear it is taking so long for you. On my Comcast high speed connection it works fine.
Feel free to take the code and implement your suggestions. I think what you are proposing would make this script work even better.
You might also check out my Amazon Seattle Public Library Linky script that just does one lookup at a time and might work better for you.

It tends to take a LOONG time (256kbps DSL) to get links to even one item on my wishlist--and it gets about 10 or 12 links per item so far (admittedly, I only had the patience to watch it load links for Les Miserables and Hunchback of Notre Dame.)
This is way too slow. Perhaps it should load one link per title, and provide hints that more links will be loaded later---it could come back to the first title later...
