No probs slantybard, indeed everyone's links they have posted here on this thread have been included such as those you listed.
I also like the concept of "similar authors" to find new authors that others have recommended based on one you know (select in Calibre). There are a bunch of websites out there for this that I added to the list a few days ago such as LoveReading.co.uk, SimilarAuthors.com, WhatShouldIReadNext.com and one that gives a cool graphical map of Literature-Map.com.
Coding is finished on the plugin (at last!). A bunch of new features I haven't mentioned on the thread yet were added, such as being able to test links from within the config dialog with a bunch of editable predefined test books. Only way I could properly test the 75+ links I have in the list now! There are some additional tokens that can be used in the url. Also added import/export capability which zips up the selected menu settings and any custom images so people can easily share with others such as on this thread or use for backup etc.
However in the process I found a minor bug in Calibre that affects the Export feature. This has now been fixed in the trunk (thanks Kovid). So I am waiting for a release of Calibre 0.7.41 before I make it available. There is a workaround for anyone desperate to use an earlier Calibre version but the plugin still requires at least Calibre 0.7.38 anyway for it's API requirements.
If anyone wants to play with it in the meantime to help test it just drop me a PM and I will send you a link - Bertrand has been kind enough to do a lot of testing for me and reckons it is good to go. Special thanks also to chaley for his tremendous help/advice in code reviews and coming up with a plugin proxy approach which helps make what is now a fairly complex plugin (around 1400 lines of code) a bit more manageable.
