Sincere apologies if these ideas have been posted and my search-fu didn't find them in the 99 pages of this post.
1. A plugin that would scan a book cover file (or covers for a selected batch of books) for the Width/Height/Bytes and populate that information into a custom (text?) column or into two custom columns (1 for dimensions, 1 for file size - e.g 1466x2200x704KB or 1466x2200 then 704KB) If no cover is present, put 0 or n/a (or better yet, make this user definable). I'm not asking for something that's dynamic or runs automatically, and yes I know this would be a one-time 'at that moment' bit of information. I know about the Quality Check plugin to check for covers but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something that I can populate a custom column with.
2. A plugin to scrape from Goodreads whether a book has any 'Literary Awards' entries. An example of what this looks like is Goodreads ID 19398490.
3. If it's possible, scrape from Amazon whether a book supports 'Word Wise' and/or 'X-Ray'. In the 'Product details' of Kindle books these will appear as "Word Wise : Enabled" and "X-Ray : Enabled". If not supported, they should say 'Not Enabled' (or in some cases the specifications won't show up at all) These usually appear near the top under the book description as well. I would assume a minimum requirement would be to have a proper AMAZON (or ASIN/MOBI-ASIN) identifier in Calibre so you're sure you're scraping a Kindle book page and not a paperback, etc. The purpose of this app and/or having this information would be for those of us that use the X-Ray files generating app and the WordDumb plugin which generates Word Wise files. Knowing if a book supports either before wasting time trying to generate them would be nice instead of visiting Amazon for every single book you want to check. A simple Y/N output to a custom column for each would be spiffy.
Again my apologies if these have already been discussed.
