I cannot add titles from Amazon

JonathanAnderson · July 30, 2019

I have followed all the of upgrade, translator resets, and checks given on the similar forum discussions, but I still cannot add titles from Amazon. I am using a MacBook Air (10.12.6) with Firefox 68.0.1, the add-on Zotero Connector 5.0.57, and Zotero software 5.0.71. I have upgraded everything and it still does not work. Any suggestions?

FYI... When I hover over the Zotero selector on a page with an book from Amazon, it reads "Save to Zotero (Web Page with Snapshot)."

We'd want an exact URL that isn't working.

I have tried around a dozen titles, and none of them allow for a bibliography entry into the Zotero stand alone. Here's a sample, for starters:

https://www.amazon.com/History-State-Sufferings-Church-Scotland/dp/1166323595/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=Crookshank,+Scotland&qid=1564590822&s=gateway&sr=8-4

https://www.amazon.com/Theology-Martin-Luther-Critical-Assessment/dp/0800698754/ref=sr_1_1?crid=HYSNQL06W931&keywords=lohse+martin+luther&qid=1564590906&s=gateway&sprefix=Lohse,aps,179&sr=8-1

OK, that's a known issue on Amazon. We're working on a fix, but for now, you should be able to remove the s=gateway from the URL and then save the reloaded page.

@JonathanAnderson: This should now be fixed without the above workaround. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Translators in the Advanced pane of the Zotero Connector preferences.
