O'Reilly Safari Lookup from Amazon Greasemonkey Script
Another stopgap arising from the Amazon wishlist/O'Reilly integration to do item posted earlier today, here are a couple of Greasemonkey scripts that do Library lookup like things for the O'Reilly Safari e-book bookshelf.
Safari Lookup
Safari Lookup (via OU libezproxy)
Here's the result of both scripts running at the same time (which means they'll also run alongside the OU Amazon Library lookup script). The advantage of the OU script is that if you have an OU SAMs authentication cookie set, you get to read the full text without the need to log in...
Looking at that screenshot, I think that a better place to put the link would be by the Availability information.
That's one more to do item, then (along with doing a Google books version and integrating the xISBN functionality into the script (there's a crib available in the Improved OU Library Lookup Greasemonkey Script, so it shouldn't be too hard to do given a spare half hour or so...))
