The theme variable $item holds a lot of data, but no product description. And I know Amazon returns this in the Large ResponseGroup, something like a "LongSummary" (I believe).

This longsummary seems missing in the amazon_items db table as well.

It doesn't make sense to me - why did you leave out the most useful part of the Amazon response?

The Amazon Store module is a separate module which serves a different purpose. The setting you're referring to doesn't exist in this module.

I too am wondering how to access an Amazon Item's description using this module. Anyone have any suggestions? I thought this issue (#893316: Access specific fields from ASIN on node page using a view) might help, but it doesn't actually open up any additional item information.

I have the same problem.
There is no product description in the amazon.module AND in the amazon_store.module.

Just a note: Amazon does not provide one except for the US locale.

According to the Amazon API docs for Large Response Group, there is no LongSummary field (and I can't find a generic product description field there).

The Amazon Store module uses the EditorialReviews response group's first entry which is the Amazon product review. Is that not what you want?

If you visit your site's Amazon API Test page (at http://example.com/admin/settings/amazon/test) and enter an ASIN, do you see an [editorialreviews] response?
