This plugin is now deprecated and will no longer be supported. Instead all of its functionality has been migrated into the Baen plugin, which is an updated direct replacement.
This is a bit of a niche metadata source, for those of you who are a fan of Baen Ebooks and other publishers available from
www.baenebooks.com (formerly at webscription.net)
Baen Ebooks has a fairly small selection of authors/books (certainly in comparison to the other metadata sources). However for the books it does have there are some very nice covers.
Note that unlike other metadata sources this plugin offers no support for ISBN based lookups or retrieval of ISBN. Instead it does a lookup by book title, and then validates that this matches the author (if any) for your book to provide a match.
Main Features:- Can retrieve title, author, comments, publisher, publication date, rating and covers
- Also retrieves a Webscription id, which can be used to directly jump to the page for a specific book from the book details pane (like Goodreads/ISBN etc).
Special Notes:- Requires Calibre 0.8 or later.
Installation Notes:- Download the attached zip file and install the plugin as described in the Introduction to plugins thread.
- Note that this is not a GUI plugin so it is not intended/cannot be added to context menus/toolbars etc.
Paypal Donations:- If you find this or any of my other plugins useful please feel free to show your appreciation. I have spent many hundreds of unpaid hours in their development and support so any encouragement for me to continue is appreciated!
