Created an update to work around DNB's long long-lasting issues (or changes?):

1. Currently instead of a book's content, DNB returns an error page. This error page is now ignored and not stored as "comments".
2. DNB takes much longer to respond, up to several seconds. Either they're under load or have introduced some kind of delay. For sure it's no browser agent detection, I tried that.
So for now this plugin only asks DNB for max. 10 search results (previously: 100). Each of the results triggers some requests, so it should be considerable faster now.

I hope that works!
