In Download_Metadata, why does "Comments" end with double asterisks ** ?
When I download metadata, the text in the Comments field almost always ends with a pair of asterisks. Why is that?
And how can we prevent that? |

That is the way most of the metadata I download from Amazon ends. Ask Amazon. You can't prevent them so just delete them.

Is there an automatic way to delete double asterisks with a Calibre patch/program/plugin/whatever?

BetterRed,
If I understand you correctly, it's a two-step process, yes? |

Some metadata has the ** in the middle of the page, some has it appended to the last line, some has it as a separate last line.
For me, automating the process wasn't worth the time it would take to automate it. |

DNSB, thanks for your reply. When the ** is in the middle of the page, does it function the same way as when it's at bottom of the page (by function, i mean it's just as useless)?

And yes, it is pretty much useless. For some of the worst, I've copy/pasted the HTML content into Sigil and done the cleanup there. |

Hi DNSB,
too bad there's no way to automatically clean up the Comments field, at least not at this time. There's a way to auto-fix the name field, but not the comments field. Maybe one day. ![]() |
