The stated reason (above) that non-North-American Amazons dropped us appears to be that we’re linking to Amazon from a program instead of from a website, which isn’t something we can change - Delicious Library is definitely a program! (I believe North America hasn’t dropped us because they understand our business model better, and because we have managed to turn off our advertising fees in the U.S. We do refer quite a bit of business to Amazon that isn’t the issue as far as I know. Delicious Monster has tried to make sure our relationship with Amazon has stayed beneficial to them, by providing back-links inside the app to Amazon (and only to Amazon) for recommended items and items on our users’ wishlists. Over the years Amazon has changed how they want their Product Advertising API used, as is their right as the owners and maintainers of this database. Since 2004, Delicious Library has used Amazon’s Product Advertising API to look up the titles and authors and cover images of items that users scan in.

Your .uk Associates Account - deliciousmons-21 I received a variant of this notice from five of the affected Amazon sites at 11:54AM on October 25, 2017:

This means Delicious Library can no longer look up or recommend items in those stores.Īmazon sites in the United States and Canada continue to work for all users of Delicious Library 3 worldwide (but obviously are largely only in English and carry mostly items for sale in North America). Today I have unfortunate news: the Amazon sites in Germany, Italy, France, Japan, Spain, and The United Kingdom have all decided to terminate their relationship with Delicious Monster this week.
