Google and dynamic sites

How many pages should the google spider normally go through on a
medium-sized
web store? I have around 200 000 books on my site and google has only
crawled
through like 70 pages.

How has Amazon managed to get most of its pages directly indexed on google?
I mean, if you do a search with an ISBN code, you'll get Amazon's pages as a
result.

My site uses PHP and query strings, although I've built today an alternative
sitemap for these robots using the tips from Sitepoint, ie. using URLs like
www.mysite.com/bookdetails.php/012345678X
instead of
www.mysite.com/bookdetails.php?isbn=012345678X

So, back to my original question. Should I expect to see ALL my books'
detail pages indexed in google?

With your site being PR0, don't expect much interest from Googlebot.

Make sure your sitemap is less than 100K in size, otherwise you'll only get
those listed that are linked before 100K - we've only got 900 products and
have 5 index lists - 200,000 products is going to need a lot of careful
planning.
