Does anyone know of a free class or control I can use that abstracts away the nitty-gritty details of the search implementation and will simply allow me to search for eBook titles on Amazon.com? Ideally, user could enter a search string in my program (e.g., "Kyrathaba Rising"), and the program would then search Amazon.com for that title.

I'm downloading the Amazon Web Services SDK, but if there's a quick and dirty way of getting what I want, I'd rather not have to delve into all of that.
