@DaltonST, Thanks a lot for your fast reply

Ok .. My objective is that I want to fill specific values into a custom column during amazon metadata download. This is why I looked for "src/calibre/ebooks/metadata/sources/amazon.py" since these values will be ready there. However, I just don't know how to save them into the custom column. The example of count pages plugin is a GUI plugin, so its way of saving the values in custom columns doesn't apply with amazon metadata downloader.

For the updates, I just need this to run once on my library filling the values and then I will revert back my changes.

Could you help me with saving the values in the custom column ? Or is it not feasible since amazon metadata downloader is not a GUI plugin ?

Thanks
