Hi,

I am wondering how Calibre handles ISBN around things like:

- ISBN-10, ISBN-13, eBook ISBN. It will be great that for a given book the entry will allow to store all possible ISBNs.

- ISBN duplicates. Does Calibre detect attempts to add the same book twice? What if I have a book with ISBN-10 and add the same with the ISBN-13?

- ISBN field regex. Any plans to allow it regex checks? Currently it allows any text.

- ISBN changes. It looks like after entering an ISBN, the metadata lookup changes it for some books.

On the other hand, are there any plans to provide Amazon lookups? Or even better, allow user-selectable (configurable?) metadata provider (mp3tag -mp3tag.de - provides similar feature for music metadata lookup, allowing to choose provider).

Thanks!!!
