There seems to be a minor bug in the StartActions.. file - the amazon page has the unicode left/right double quotes (U+201C and U+201D), which don't seem to be valid JSON for some reason. Not sure why, I thought any unicode was fine in JSON.

Both an online JSON validator and my Kindle barf on this though - escaping it with \ prefix doesn't help. Changing it to \" works fine though (ie. an escaped U+0022 double quote). Saving the whole file as UTF-16 hasn't helped.

I'd be intereted to know what the final fix is..
