INTRODUCTION
------------

Ruby/Amazon is a Ruby language library that allows the programmer to retrieve
information from the popular Amazon Web site via Amazon Web Services. Not only
the original amazon.com site is supported, but also amazon.co.uk, amazon.de
and amazon.co.jp.

This library is still in development, but already supports most of the AWS v3
API. You can generate documentation for this library with the following
command, executed from the directory into which you have untarred the archive:

  rdoc lib

More features are planned for future versions. See the TODO file.


INSTALLATION
------------

Please see the INSTALL file for details of how to install Ruby/Amazon.
