Added Inkmesh ebook pricing search the internet

I added the inkmesh search capabilities using the following code in the tweaks section:

Code:
    ('Inkmesh for Title', None, 'http://inkmesh.com/search/?qs={title}&btnE=Find+Ebooks', 'utf-8', None),
    ('Inkmesh for Author', None, 'http://inkmesh.com/search/?qs=author%3A%22{author}%22', 'utf-8', None),
    ('Inkmesh for Title and Author', None, 'http://inkmesh.com/search/?qs={title}+by+{author}&btnE=Find+Ebooks', 'utf-8', None),
I find this useful as it usually can grab a list of most e-retailers selling the book and the associated metadata for filling in the publisher's missing metadata for a book.

Edit: so I did this on my own because I was so excited to play around with this plug-in and was too lazy to read all 16 pages of the thread only to realize that everyone has been contributing and adding so many other websites including inkmesh already... heh heh. Oh well, at least the code I did for inkmesh works great.

I mainly use this to look for better quality metadata than that available from the default Calibre sources, however it is also useful to get detailed reviews, identify missing books in a series, accurate publication dates etc.
