Thanks for the testing Bertrand.

I see what you mean about the Amazon site. It has come from a change I made yesterday in response to a suggestion by Kovid to use a Calibre wrapper function to open url's instead of the Python one directly. I blindly made the change without testing and clearly the behaviour is different because of it. I temporarily switched back to the Python one and the URL opened correctly. I'll look further into it.

Re the transwparent images - it does do transparency, I think it depends on the website source you are pulling from and possibly how what conversion if any google has to do to the image. For instance grab the icon from foo.com using the plugin and you will see it has transparency.
