Site Preferences

The Readerware Site Preferences tab is used to customize the site drop down lists used for importing, price checks, ordering and browsing.
 

Import URL List

The Import URL list is used for both Auto Catalog and interactive imports. The drop down lists include the sites you select and in the order you select them.

By default all sites are included in the drop down lists. To remove a site double click on an entry in the list so that the  changes to an . Checked items will be included in the list, crossed items will not. To change the order of a site in the list, first select a site and then use the up and down arrows, , to move the selected site up or down in the list.

The first active site in the list is used when you display the current product in your browser.
 

Order URL List

The Order URL List determines which sites will be searched when you run a price check or place an order from The Readerware Shopping Cart. See the Import URL List for more information on maintaining the list.

By default all the US sites are active. The non -US sites are inactive. I hope our overseas users will not take offense. The reason this is done is that the Readerware price check feature does not currently handle currency conversions. So if all sites were selected, the UK sites would typically display as the lowest price as the price is listed in pounds sterling. The price check works best if you only select sites from one country, but this is not a requirement. You can have any and all sites active for price checks and ordering. You can order from any sites, regardless of your location. For example, I regularly order from the UK, sometimes you just can't wait for the latest Ruth Rendell mystery to be published in the US.
 

The Button Panel

Once you have made your changes, click on OK to save them and have them take effect. Click on Cancel to discard your changes. Note you only have to click on OK when you have finished all your changes, you can move between tabs and only click OK when you are done. This will close the Readerware preferences dialog.
