Is there some thing wrong with the amazon bookmarklet?

i tried to add some books from amazon, but it isn't working and keeps asking 'You must select a data source (Amazon, Library of Congress, etc.)' even though a source is selected and i've obviously come from the source.

I'm getting the same problem using FireFox on multiple computers

Still getting this problem today. :(

I get the same message, regardless if I use the bookmarklet on amazon.de, amazon.co.uk or amazon.com.
Can somebody fix this?

I'm experiencing this problem, too.

been over a week now, creeping up on 2, and there is still a problem.

People have been complaining about the Amazon bookmarklet for almost two years. User timepiece wrote a OpenSearch plugin for the search box (usually in the upper-right corner of the browser). I wrote a Firefox extension to do something similar.

Those options can be found here:

I also have been experiencing this problem for more than two weeks. It's not convenient.

Since I have some knowledge about CGI, if I could know the specification of LibraryThings /addbooks.php CGI, I might be able to modify the bookmarklet by myself and make available for everyone...

Are there anyone who know well about addbooks.php CGI? I added "source=" option to it and tried CGIs like "/addbooks.php&bm=1&isbn=xxxxxxxxx&source=Amazon", but the same thing happend.

9> I don't think the problem is with the bookmarklet - so re-creating it isn't likely to fix the issue. There seems to be a problem with the method by which the page stores/recalls your default source.

AndrewB> Thank you for your answer. Then, only LibraryThing staffs can fix this problem? I wonder why they keep ignoring this problem such a long time...

I think because they are currently working on a complete rewrite.

I've been having this problem for about a month maybe more) -- the bookmarklet used to work fine, but I'm getting the same error message. Frustrating

This is still not working nearly 2mths on. highly inconvenient.

Still at least my (free) Good Reads account is in working order. lol.

Would be great if this issue could be fixed one of these days... :)

all is already fixed

Can you elaborate? I just re-added the bookmarklet, and it still doesn't seem to be working.

I've created a work-around version of the bookmarklet that's working for me:

This message editor won't let me paste the link here directly, so I've put up a simple page on my site with the link: http://abundantmedia.com/public/lt-link.html

Hope it helps!
