Mine doesn't work either. I thought it was because I transferred my blog site and I had misconfigured some stuff. I'm using FF 2.0.0.3 and WP 2.1.2

I do hope that they can fix it up soon.

Anne: If you can't get the plugin working, your best bet is to go straight to Amazon and generate your links there.

this is so discouraging... I can find products but there's absolutely no clue how to insert them in my blog... when will we get instructions?

I've found it works poorly in Safari as well. It appears, but the amount of products it returns is poor compared to the same search in Safari.

Rich has a Google Group for the beta, and has mentioned that he's busy, and won't be able to address it until April some time. He's also solicited for other developers, including handing it over if anyone wants to take on the new version for 2.1.

Thanks Aaron for posting my question. I have Firefox and I find the new version of this plugin incredibly difficult. In the past when I could correlate products on Amazon with the products I was reviewing, my affiliate sales were definitely going at a steady stream. Now it is substantially less. I hope they come out of beta soon so I can use it again.

Yah. This has slowed down the postings on my own product blogs, but it's only a small part. Also, even with Firefox, the drag/drop only works if using the visual editor is enabled.

PS: the plugin does work to find the products. I right-click to open in another window, copy/paste the name of product and LINK the url as a text link in my post. At Feedburner, under Optimize tab, I activated the Amazon ID Burner and it automatically puts my code in the feed so, hopefully with full feeds .. I'm gambling that readers will click the link in the RSS feed instead of at the site itself. If that plugin ever comes out of Beta, there's going to be a splurge of amazon posts out there!
