Book Search Engine Addon
Permalink
As I have a number of addons and themes "in the works" right now, I am thinking about adding one more to that list: a "Book Search Engine"!
Basically, it would be a way to possibly monetize your site. My plan would be to utilize the Google Books API to return results, but the search can done through a block on your Concrete site.
It would also include an advertisement area (such as adding HTML code or something). Also, there might be a way to integrate the Amazon affiliate program, too.
How much interest is there in such an addon? What are your thoughts?

You should check the licence. I seem to remember a similar addon being in the PRB a while back and it was withdrawn due to licence issues. I can't remember the details, whether it was google or amazon, so it may be possible, or maybe Julia can give you the accurate story.
I would purchase a commercial MIT license for this, so it will be for commercial distribution.
