You do realise that one of the things anti-scanning bots do is look to see if you are running a headless browser. How do you get around that?

There are certain "stealth" techniques that can help a little. That said, I would LOVE to have a normalized, API accessible list of Author ebooks, with book language, Title, Series, etc. all enumerated and available either free of charge or for a nominal fee. That would make this process a LOT easier and avoid the screen scraping entirely.
