The Zotero import button works with Amazon and then you can automatically 
forward that to BibDesk with the zot2Bib plugin http://mackerron.com/zot2bib/

(you need to have Zotero running for it to work, which is annoying, but it’s a 
workaround, and it gives you a bunch of import options, including Amazon, 
beyond the BibDesk native ones)
