I have tried the redirector extension which shows the test working but doesn't redirect in FF. I DON'T want to redirect ALL traffic from the .com site just ebook links.

I don't use that website so can't tell you where to go.
(Sound familiar?)

If you run or are willing to run Apache on your network I think you should be able to do this using a combination of dns spoofing or host file entries and server rewrites or redirects, but that's maybe overkill.

http: // www. amazon. com/Divergent-Trilogy-Book-1-ebook/dp/B004CFA9RS/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
it would want to be redirected to :
http: // www. amazon.co .uk/Divergent-Trilogy-Book-1-ebook/dp/B004CFA9RS/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
added spaces so it doesn't get linked.
I have this greasemonkey script that is supposed to do it but doesn't:
// ==UserScript==
// @namespace http://www.petefreitag.com/greasemonkey/amazon_localize
// @name Amazon.co.uk Localizer
// @description Replaces product links from amazon.* to amazon.co.uk
// @include http://*
// @include https://*
// @exclude http://*.amazon.*
// @exclude https://*.amazon.*
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=0;i<links.length;i++) {
var href=links.href;
if (href.match(/amazon\./i)) {
var asin = href.replace(/.+ASIN\/([A-Z0-9]+).*/i, "$1");
if (asin.length <= 13) {
links.href = "http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=petefreitagsh-21&path=ASIN/" + asin + "/ref=";
}
}
}
})();

Well using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/redirector/?src=search
and this rule
Edit Redirect
Description: ebook
Example URL: http://www.amazon.com/Divergent-Trilogy-Book-1-ebook/dp/B004CFA9RS/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
Include pattern: http://www.amazon.com/*ebook/*
Redirect to: http://www.amazon.co.uk/$1ebook/$2
Pattern type: Wildcard
Example result:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Divergent-Trilogy-Book-1-ebook/dp/B004CFA9RS/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
It does work for me using the example you gave when the .com address is put into the address bar or by clicking on the .com address on the Google search page results

One thing: where he has shown
Example URL: http://www.amazon.com/Div...FA9RS/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
I hope you are entering the full URL and not the truncated one as it appears on the screen. i.e.
http://www.amazon.com/Divergent-Trilogy-Book-1-ebook/dp/B004CFA9RS/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8

I actually had something similar setup in redirector using $1$2 not $1ebook$2, neither of which work for me but work on the example pasted into the test box.
