BookX 0.1 is finally released. BookX creates an easy way to give your site visitors a peek at your recommended books. Using only ISBN numbers, it gets the information from Barnes and Noble (http://www.bn.com) and stores the information locally to both speed up the response time, but also to not bog down their servers with repetetive requests. BookX creates a widget for your sidebar, a list view, and detail view, all customizable from the easy to use admin interface.
Features
◊ Uses only ISBN to fill in all the important information about your books
◊ Creates a Detail Page View, List View, and a Widget all from the same plugin
◊ Each view is totally customizable from an easy to use admin interface
◊ Lots of controls over the look and feel of the generated code through the admin interface
◊ Stores most (just not the image) of the data on your server for fast results and better control
Where exactly does bookx store the data?
When activated, BookX creates a table where it will store all the data.
