Not with the current functionality in the plugin, no. In theory it could be possible to extend it to do so. Though it opens up a can of worms I am not sure I want to deal with. Right now Goodreads Sync is about syncing *user data* about a book, not metadata. If I support pulling details like format, what about all the other fields like pages, published, title, authors, description, etc etc... And it would be a one way sync for those fields, obviously you cannot upload them to Goodreads.

Not saying never, just needs some careful thought.
