Amazon Plugin
I've noticed something new, I think, to .8. On the B&N and Goodreads plugins there is the option to pull "additional contributors" to the book (illustrators, editors, cover artists, etc.) I had those options unchecked, because otherwise retrieval was a little too slow for me. I was still occasionally getting "additional contributor" info, however - and this time I actually looked at the logs instead of just editing it back out. It appears that the Amazon is now pulling this info as well - but there is no option to shut it off on that plugin. Is it possible to add that checkbox option, or does the Amazon page structure not allow for it?
Example : isbn:9780345321428 is the book "Limits" by "Larry Niven". B&N and Goodreads plugins both just return "Larry Niven" for that isbn, but Amazon's section in the log reads "Larry Niven & Barclay Shaw". Shaw's the cover artist for that edition of the book...so I don't really need to track him in calibre.
Alternately, would it be possible to filter _by plugin_ which fields are overwritten? Let only Goodreads, for example, change the author field.
