#1 Unofficial fix to support AWS 4.0
Came upon your project the other day while looking for a light weight software to manage my ebooks. Your software looked promising however Amazon has recently deprecated AWS 3.0 so ebook manager can no longer query Amazon for book information.
I've made some changes to ebook manager so that it can successfully query Amazon web services again. Changes were only made to MainFrame.java and BookDetails.java. I've also used my personal AWS access key id so you may want to change it to your own.
I've attached a copy of my changes in source code and the jar build.
CAVEAT: I'm not a software engineer and this is the first time I've ever programmed in Java.
Source code and build
This makes the best ebookmanager work again! You are my hero!
Works great, however the jar alone won't run. I recommend overwriting the old ebookmanager.jar with ebookmgr.jar supplied by Pokai, or simply tossing ebookmgr.jar in dist/ where it can access /lib.
As above patch doesn't work any more here is yet another one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6735093/eKitaab/eKitaab.rar
Using the same approach but with AWS Query Signer (http://sowacs.appspot.com/AWS/), so maybe it will last longer regardless Amazon changes. Community work or whatever...
Enjoy this cute program ;)
