Wow, this especially sucks for those of us who use Amazon wishlists as a way to make lists to share with friends and family who aren't technically savvy. Amazon already killed off the bookmarklet they had for adding products from other pages to Amazon wishlists, now they're killing off the replacement? Maybe too many of us were directing purchases off of Amazon to other, more ethical retailers. Kind of shooting themselves in the foot if that's the case though, now we're not even going to get pricing information for the products that Amazon carries when we're looking at them elsewhere.

This sucks. I use the hell out of it for creating lists and collating products for comparison when making a big purchase, for different people, or different hobbies. Anyone know of another extension that will let us access the Amazon lists?

Looks like thingstogetme.com is the only alternative that offers the ability to import your existing lists from Amazon. Also appears to have the most features out of all of the available alternatives.
