When I check for missing books it only brings up one book.

If I use Apple (by unticking the amazon exclusive box), then it brings the same book up along with 13 others including this one https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-...er/id887496700

But that book is also on amazon and under the correct author name see https://www.amazon.com/stores/author...2-5fdd68033b69

Why doesn't it appear when using amazon?
I had the same problem - the plugin didn't find any new books on Amazon at all, although they're definitely there when I search by the author name. As there are many Amazon-only authors I'd like to watch for, this makes the plugin pretty useless to me.
