Did that entail a lot of hand entry of product information? (considering that Amazon was, as you said, lacking specifications)

Yes it did. I have spent a lot more time researching and documenting specs than I have writing code. The good news is that I don't mind that type of work. I often build spreadsheets for fun to compare things I'm thinking of buying so I just took that to another level.
