OK, let's give this a try. But how about double double quotes instead of a tag?
Just put a book title in double double quotes, and the server will automatically search Amazon.com and link to the first match. When you confirm your post, you have the option of linking to a different book (or not linking at all). Sorry, but this only works with double quotes and Amazon.com. There's a little more information and an example in the FAQ:
