I have quite many academic books published e.g. in Poland and in Germany but in English... so in the case of my books, the ISBN would not be all that accurate.
Obviously, the fact you can't be 100% accurate doesn't mean you should stop looking for automatic solutions. However, in this case just like silbaer I would prefer a simple search in more than one Amazon store, and the ability to choose the right book manually. Alternatively, as I mentioned I'd be glad with a handy shortcut to switch between Amazon stores. It would be nice to have this option at least in the "Configure metadata download" dialog where you can quicky choose the metadata sources (even though I usually leave all my usual sources on, and don't change the configuration for a couple of books).
I've just checked: my usual config includes ADLIBRIS_SE, Amazon.com, BOL_DE, BOL_NL, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, Google, ISBNDB, LubimyCzytac, Open Library and biblionetka.pl (so basically English, German, Polish, Dutch and Swedish). It would be nice to have more than one Amazon available for the search at the same time.
