Hey Tom,

Thanks very much for feeding back and delighted to hear the plugin did the job for you (thanks for the donation too btw, much appreciated). Sounds like your wife was very keen indeed on keeping track of her reading - I'm sure she is going to find it all much spankier with it all no Goodreads and trackable via calibre etc now...

You did the right thing on avoiding bulk metadata download - as you found it is a very dangerous feature to use if you don't have an isbn for the book. I fully expected the actual import of the list via the plugin to be by far the easiest part of the process and pleased it did what it needed. I will push it out as a 1.0 release sometime between now and the weekend.

Re the Olympics - it is darned expensive. Also the intersection of events that I would remotely have interest in going to see and the availability of tickets to those events is pretty close to zero. I actually live about 50m away from one of the venus that does seem to still have some tickets spare but a single two hour session of boxing or weight-lifting for hundreds of pounds doesn't grab me, particularly given all the security check dramas etc. Going to the Olympic Stadium would be cool (a colleague was one of the few fortunate to get tickets for that for his family) but I shall be watching it on TV for the most part
