Does that mean there are more than those two sources (ISBNDB and Amazon) that are used to access meta-data or just that calibre uses 5 plug-ins to perform the search? Kovid mentioned that the search uses aggregators rather than directly accessing the websites but as I don't know what aggregators are I'm finding the whole issue a little perplexing which in turn makes it hard to ask the right questions when seeking assistance or requesting improvements.
