Running the two versions side by side, every time the goodreads version could at least find the same covers or found more. So it doesn't seem necessary to scrape both (as stated above I believe that since amazon bought goodreads the database are at least partially interconnected)

It could be interesting to scrape the other languages amazon websites since goodreads have a very good database of english titles but isn't has good for foreign editions (searching for french titles in my case). But I haven't included it in what I coded. It could be done with an option to chose which stores to use.

Edit: all my books have a goodreads id, so the plugin is searching using this id.
