Hi,
Sorry for slowness, had some family stuff to deal with, so this got put on the backburner. Inline..

OK, thanks. That makes it easy to decide if a connected kindle supports new or old, as the version is available.

Ah, that would do it. I'll add it to the list just as a precaution. Any specific error it was getting that might alert people?

Yay for search histories: "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SQLite.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found."

C# is my go-to language because of work, it's what I'm used to. I've never really liked Python, so I wasn't keen on making a plugin (it was awesome that mjwilson went ahead and did). The app is also a lot faster and I like having full control over what goes on within it.
I considered re-writing it all in C++ so it would be cross-platform, but haven't had the time.

Python seems quite marmitey!
Have you done any measurements to quanitfy any speed difference? I've found one problem with searching in the plugin that should speed it up, but overall for me the more obvious slow part is fetching the shelfari page (not sure how much to blame on shelfari, and how much to blame on sky broadband). For testing I'm caching the page locally, which makes things much quicker.

Hm... What does it do on the Kindle (I don't have a device to test atm)? The Amazon StartActions files are in UTF-8 so I would have assumed it would display fine... You could try \u201c and \u201d. If that works, we may have to do some more cleanup on the strings before writing them...

It would just not load (ie. greyed out X-Ray button). Sounds from your latest post that you fixed it, which is good.
