Would it be possible to add an option to pull metadata based on the "format" information on Barnes & Noble's website? The reason I ask is that the Nook Editions of books have a format of "ebook" and still show the older flat cover images, whereas many of the paperbacks (the Classic Series, for instance) now show a side view of the book, which isn't really a suitable image for thumbnails.

I'm hoping that if you pull the metadata for by Title and Format, you can 1) Pull the flat cover image and 2) Update the ISBN with the ebook version information instead of the paperback ISBN.

Thanks.
