I need to download metadata for books of different languages at the same time. For languages other than English the result is often poor. When I configure the language of the Amazon website to the appropriate language (e.g. Germany) I get much better results. But unfortunately – as I understand – I can choose only one language website of Amazon at the same time. This is very inconvenient for me as I have to change this option all the time. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Sometimes all the possibilities offered by Calibre are not good. I have to go to the publisher website and copy & paste (the abstract) or download & upload (the cover). Again: Is there a better way done directly from Calibre?
