 * Is there an amazon plugin available that works with the latest version of WP?

 * Depends on what you want it to do.
 * I use [WP-Amazon](http://manalang.com/wp-amazon/) for inserting product images
   into posts.
 * For inserting an Amazon product into the sidebar, I just use a text widget and
   pasted the relevant Amazon code into there. The Omakase code puts up a different
   semi-relevant product onto each page, which is kinda neat.
 * For the context link code, it just gives you a little bit of javascript which
   you can insert directly into your theme, probably in the footer.
 * So how you do it depends on what you want it to do.

 * CG-Amazon works with 2.1 from my own testing, though I’m using a version of code
   beyond my last public release. 🙂 The advantage over WP-Amazon is it doesn’t 
   embed ‘fixed data’ into your post, just a tag with an Amazon ASIN product code—
   which is resolved into a live lookup later (along with formatting). Means you
   can globally adjust formatting.
 * It also does very nicely for ‘now reading’ type lists for sidebars, having it’s
   own internal category system and personal ‘product database’.
 * The power doesn’t end there — those are just the quick and easy things. It can
   be used to build a mini shop off your blog (well, more of a product ‘catalog’
   at the moment), and can be talked to directly for keyword-based product queries,
   or other customized lookups.
 * As Otto notes, depends on what you want it to do (and where!). 😉

 * aha. I was using wp-amazon but I didn’t have the latest version. It stopped working
   so I was looking for a replacement. WP-Amazon isn’t in the plugin directory here,
   but then, neither are most plugins.
 * oooh this beta version is cool. All ajaxy and drag and drop. I’m lovin it.
 * thank you
