<p>Now Reading Redux is a resurrection of the <a href="http://heliologue.com/" title="Now Reading Reloaded" rel="nofollow ugc">Now Reading Reloaded project by Ben Gunnink</a> 5.1.3.2 codebase, which was itself a fork/re-enlivening of <a href="http://robm.me.uk/projects/plugins/wordpress/now-reading/" title="Original Now Reading Plugin" rel="nofollow ugc">Rob Miller’s original Now Reading plugin</a>.  It was forked from Rob’s code as of 4.4.4svn, in order to update its interface to work with WordPress 2.7 and above.</p>
<p>With NRR, you can manage a library of your current books, as well as historical and planned books.</p>
<p>NRR depends on jQuery and assumes it already loaded by WP or your theme. Please use a sufficiently recent version, say 1.4 or newer, preferably the latest. The graph is generated using <a href="http://xaviershay.github.com/tufte-graph/" title="TufteGraph" rel="nofollow ugc">TufteGraph</a> which depends on <a href="http://raphaeljs.com/" title="Rapha?l" rel="nofollow ugc">Rapha?l</a>. All necessary files are included, no additional libraries necessary (beyond jQuery).</p>

<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>When js-minify is enabled by an optimization plugin, the javascript files used by the TafteGraph/Rapha?l may get corrupted. This issue is known to exist in W3 Total Cache (tested version 0.9.2.4). The only known workaround at this point is to disable js-minify from the Minify settings. CSS and HTML minification can still be enabled as well as compression.</li>
</ul>


Now Reading Redux

Track and share books you read, are reading and plan to read, with Amazon integration and cover art and graphs reading statistics.

<p>Ultimate Amazon turns your written work into a beautifully rendered Amazon shop. It also allows robust cataloguing and export of all Amazon products — books, music, films, and everything else — to which your authors have linked.</p>
<p>We’ll deftly scan each newly created post for Amazon links, fetching the properly formed ASIN URL using modern Amazon-preferred methods from the Amazon Advertising API. We’ll also fetch the main product image for you and insert that into WordPress’s Media database. Then we’ll create an XML file and will save it into the database so that you can reference all of the Amazon products your writers are writing about.</p>
<p>The products can then be displayed using the included carousel, which is a beautifully functional, light-payload, HTML5, touch-compatible, Retina-capable way of building your authors’ recommended items into your WordPress site in any location you choose.</p>
<p>Note: Ultimate Amazon does not automatically add Affiliate tags to your posts’ Amazon links. To do that, try Paul Stuttard’s Amazon Link. https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-link/. Amazon Link and Ultimate Amazon have been tested up to the specifications noted to work properly together.</p>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatic indexing of new WordPress posts for links to Amazon</li>
<li>Local indexing of Amazon products in new ‘Items’ tab</li>
<li>Automated fetching of current Amazon product image</li>
<li>All product images added as Media items</li>
<li>HTML5 Retina and touch compliant carousel to display latest Amazon products via shortcode [all-items]</li>
<li>Fully customizable carousel</li>
</ul>
<h4>Quick Start</h4>
<p>To quickly start, simply install the plugin and add [all-items] as a shortcode in your widget, post, or page.</p>
<p>The shortcode output will automatically update when new posts containing Amazon links are saved to WordPress.</p>


Ultimate Amazon

This plugin scans each new post to create a beautiful catalogue of all Amazon products linked to by your WordPress authors.
