I've been thinking -- as I do -- about ways in which people who are more talented than I am could make my life easier. Which led me to wondering about the Goodreads metadata plugin and the Count Pages plugin. Specifically, Goodreads tracks book lengths (as do Amazon and B&N) by ISBN. I was wondering why metadata fetching couldn't access that field when its doing its queries from those sites. I'm curious as to the feasibility and/or desirability of integrating that reference-based functionality into the Count Pages plugin (or into basic metadata fetching).
PS - I started writing this as a new thread, then I changed my mind and started writing it in the Goodreads thread, and finally settled on this one. Sorry if I'm in the wrong place).
