FTR: Because most of my 'books' aren't commercial books I enter the metadata manually, including the commercial books. I'm not interested in tags, ratings, blurbs etc - and other fields are often wrong or waste of space variants.

On my first post I typed the WRONG ISBN (it was on my clipboard because I was testing another title in portuguese).

Thank goodness for that, I thought I was going nuts for a while. I made a similar mistake yesterday in another thread - read 'title' and thought 'author'

This may be a Metadata plugin configuration issue. Yours must accept a broader lookup scope.
(English language books are 9780 or 9781 )

I now notice you pointed this out earlier - I missed it first time around.

I did my tests using default settings on a freshly installed 4.8 Portable, the "Google search cache option" is what comes in the box. So, where is the "Amazon servers option"?
When I did an Advanced Search on the amazon.com and the amazon.co.uk sites using thiago.eec's 9788xxxxxxxxx ISBN they found the Portuguese book. So why does the built-in Amazon MD Source plugin search via Google and Bing rather than direct?
I assume it's because of the 'swamping the server' issue. Poor little AMZN, last time I looked it was only worth just shy of a trillion USD.
