Hi all,

I thought I'd get the ball rolling here having played around with the
API a little the past few days. I'll mainly focus on books as that's
the only data I'm interested in at the moment - http://readernaut.com/api/v1/nathan/books/

Having the ISBN easily accessible is great for looking up details
using the Amazon API but, as Readernaut seems to be collecting Amazon
details anyway, is there a particular reason for not including them as
standard? I assume it's to avoid duplicating the data and to make sure
the information is up to date?

Other than Amazon details, I'd love to have the user's star rating of
the book, it's current status and tags the user has given it.

These things would be welcomed in the books RSS feed too. Would it be
possible to delay the RSS update for a few minutes to give a user time
to rate, set current status and add tags to a newly added book?

What is already available in the API was enough for me to pull 90% of
the information I needed, so thanks for putting it together. Hopefully
fleshing it out a bit more will improve it even more.

Cheers,

Sam

I'll raise my hand for this as well. I'm particularly interested in
the images for book covers and it would be great to only have to poll
one API for that info, rather than two.

CHeers,
