This easy-to-use Amazon.com companion keeps you posted on the prices of your favorite books, music, and DVDs. Key in a search word for the item of interest, whether it is the actual title or something close to it, and select the category and the Amazon store you'd like to search. Amazon PriceWatcher quickly spits out a list of items for you to choose from. Product details such as the current price, ratings, and a product image are given and can be saved to your library within the program's well-designed parameters. Set a target price and once the item hits or falls below the marked amount, you'll receive pop-up notification. This free program is a must-have for the avid Amazon.com shopper.

Pros
In theory this is what I want but...
Cons
Doesn't have a place to set your proxy settings so forget about using this at work.
Summary
Doesn't work at the office. Big fail!

Pros
Can't say --- program doesn't work....
Cons
an error is causing this program to fail on searches because of a change in Amazon.com code. apparently, according to the orangleblue.net website (owner of software), the problem won't be fixed.
Summary
It looks like it use to work and had happy customers...but, since it no longer works, I would recommend not even downloading it unless you have the knowledge and time to fix the problem yourself.

Pros
Tried to use - can't even get the 1st search working. See below.
Cons
Just downloaded it - I get error "The request must contain the parameter Signature." just trying to search for my Viesa HDTV. No idea what this error means. The author's website has many complaints about this issue by posters but no answers.
Summary
Unless there's some answers, I don't recommend downloading it. Don't know what CNET editors rated it 4 stars.
