I'd love it if this was added to the original plug-in as an option. All my books are either from Amazon or have been given an ASIN to trick my Kindle and Goodreads into thinking it's from Amazon.

I installed Botmtl's version and it works great for grabbing the metadata from Goodreads, I no longer have to give each of my books a Goodreads ID before I grab the metadata to be sure I get it from the right edition.

But it doesn't read my heavily modified goodreads.json so in Configure download metadata > Configure selected source only the 50 or so default tag mapping are there rather than the ~300 that show up when the original is installed.

Ok Played with it a bit more and it turns out it wont save any new Shelf to Tag mappings, you can enter a new set and save and it'll work up until you close Calibre then it loses all the new mappings. So it seems like it's not reading or writing to the goodreads.json

Windows 10 Pro 64bit
Calibre Portable 3.6.0
