It will only use ISBN if your book has one in the metadata already - which in most cases people won't have, unless it either (a) was embedded in the book metadata already or (b) they prepopulated it either manually or using Extract ISBN.

The logic of the plugin is to:
- Use goodreads id if it has one
- If it doesn't, try to find the goodreads id based on either ISBN or ASIN identifiers if it has them
- If no goodreads id found by any of the above means, fall back to a title/author search.
