Description:
------------
I'm sending null as the mode and I'm getting back music only by default. Is this an Amazon thing? Does the type=lite have anything to do with this by chance?

A var_dump of the URL shows no $mode:

http://xml.amazon.com/onca/xml2?locale=us&type=lite&f=xml&t=allshaskespeare&dev-t=136GXXXXP8MKZZZZ582&page=2&KeywordSearch=shakespeare

A var_dump of the $mode returns NULL.

Corrected a comment.
Amazon.php:
371 /**
372 * Searches Amazon.com for a specific keyword.
373 *
374 * To limit your search to just a specific category such as books then set
375 * the $mode param to something other then null. See {@link getModes()} for a list of
376- * modes. If the $mode param is null it will search all modes.
376+ * modes.

The mode is always required.
If the mode is null, the Amazon returns music only.

Thank you for a report.
