I don't know why it doesn't work with plain vertical bars, but it works for me in Firefox and Chrome if I change it to the %HEX notation (%7C):

All work for me on .co.uk as well as .com (although the last link was truncated when you click on it - there was a line break).
There were some issues with the Amazon search a week or so ago when I was logging some books on LibraryThing but that was resolved. |
