How to specify Amazon for book info

In Preferences>>Metadata Download I have specified sources for Amazon and Amazon Multiple Countries. I downloaded plugin for the latter. I have not chosen any other source.

But in main interface in book details, on left side only Author, Format and Path show up. No Amazon as it did previously.

Plus if I click on author for more information it takes me to Goodreads not Amazon!!!!!

Pls
Thank u

After you SET your preferences, did you select book, Ctrl-D (get metadata from the spreadsheet) Or the button in the MDE???

Yes I set preferences first and then selected book. But when I click on author on the left book opens in Goodreads not Amazon.

Metadata does not download at all but that is another query I have asked for help about in another thread.

Preferences: Look & Feel: Book details (a tab): Clicking on Author name...

This has nothing to do with metadata sourced (for download)
