Web Service Amazon

In order to allow the user to add a book (that they would like to buy) to a task, the free Web Service Amazon E-Commerce Service offered by Amazon was used. It allows to get a list of books by sending a request to the server.

The use of the Web Service was astonishingly straightforward and did not raise problems. However, it was far more complicated to sensibly integrate the results of the WebService into the application. Additionally, only ten results are provided when a query is executed. This considerably limits the capabilites of this Web Service.
