The new web site for Baen ebooks is up and the plugin is officially broken. Titles already in Calibre with a webscription link work, since they're currently being auto-forwarded to the new site. But any new books you get are not working.

As far as I can tell, the basic change is that all books are now a direct link off of www.baen.com, not off baenebooks.com. Also, the p-nnnn preface has been eliminated.

Test links:
Old: http://www.baenebooks.com/p-2467-wood-sprites.aspx
New: http://www.baen.com/wood-sprites.html

Old: http://www.baenebooks.com/p-2063-sph...influence.aspx
New: http://www.baen.com/spheres-of-influence.html

Is there anyone in a position to fix this plugin?

Thanks,
