It will probably need testing, but it's working for me so far!
I also changed the name because since it was too long the cover size wasn't showing.
Thanks for your work

Hi Nicolas. Thanks so much for your work. As I suspected, once you add scraping to the equation it becomes 80% of the code. :-)
I was planning to do this later because honestly I won't be the audience for this feature — when I download covers, I already determined the ASIN and I want the cover for that specific edition, and that edition only. But since you were kind enough to contribute with the implementation, I can incorporate it now.
Is it OK with you if I incorporate your code in the plug-in? Let me know how you want attribution.
I will improve upon this to scrape Goodreads as well since Amazon will not always show you old all existing Kindle editions, but Goodreads usually does. I will make it configurable so you can enable/disable them individually.
How does that sound?
