I switched to the Amazon Canada servers when I started getting no data from Amazon US with the following:

Spoiler:
Found 0 results
Downloading from Amazon.com took 0.4693183898925781

Plugin Amazon.com failed

CaptchaError: Amazon returned a CAPTCHA page. Recently Amazon has begun using statistical profiling to block access to its website. As such this metadata plugin is unlikely to ever work reliably.


Retrying seems to work but it's annoying to have to retry the metadata download 3 or 4 times before it works.
