But only when they also include the MobileRead origin tag!

I have disabled the links here, so please copy/paste the links below into a browser and report your results. The books are a UK-only book, a USA-only book, and a book available in both UK and USA. The first three are with the MobileRead tag, the next three are the same books without it.

1. Redirects to Amazon.de. No results found.

2. Redirects to Amazon.de. Shows a list of four books, with Osman at the top. The three below it are "sponsored," but they have nothing to do with the Osman, except that they are mysteries (by different authors).

3. Redirects to Amazon.de. Shows "The Black Wolves of Boston" as if at the top of a list, though there are no other books listed. To see it I'd have to click on it.

4. Goes to Amazon.com. Shows a list of two books, topped by "The Complete Miss Marple." The book below it is sponsored.

5. Goes to Amazon.com. Again a list with six entries, topped by "Purrfect Bully" by Nic Saint. All six are "sponsored." Four of the others are books or a box of books by Nic Saint. The sixth book (fourth on the list) is by another author. No Osman.

6. Goes to Amazon.com. "The Black Wolves of Boston" in a "list" of one.
