Which is not always correct. A lot of eBooks have e-book, ebook, or eISBN next to the eBook's ISBN. The plugin could look for those words to find the correct ISBN instead of the wrong ISBN. Sometimes there's even words to say it's a paper copy ISBN such as hardcover or paperback. It's not impossible to find the correct ISBN. Also, if there are multiple ISBN, put up a requestor asking us to choose which one we want to use.

As it stands, the plugin is pretty worthless given that it doesn't even bother to try to find the correct ISBN where there are multiple ones listed.
