I understand what it raises.
I was thinking of a complement where the user could add the page of interest to him to enhance his library.
Let's see if you follow me ...
The plugin to which the site page could be added to be able to consult. (I understand that it depends on how the site has the information stored, which would be a problem)
And you can collect the value of the book that would be related to your ibsn to place it in a custom column and in another that puts the date of the query.
In this way, suppose that a month you want to revalue your library, the complement is run and it will have the updated price or if it does not find the record of the book, I will leave you the last price and date of the consultation. .
How the goodreads_rating plugin works with grading in numeric format.
The Import List plugin can work on a web page. It will read the page and use the template to get the data from the page. There are plenty of examples in the plugin. Some might not work now because the page has changed. How easy it is to create a template for a new page depends on how the page is structured. Looking at the source for the page, that page looks pretty easy. Each book is within a li tag, and classes used are simple.
