adding a shop in Get Books

Greendevel · 07-06-2016, 10:45 AM

Hello,

I would like to buy books from Amazon.nl but the shop is not listed in the shops list. Is there a way that I can do it or could someone do this for me ?

Manny tanks in advance,

Guido

What shops list?

Hi Greendevel,

Do you mean the list of stores in "Get Books" in Calibre?

If so, you would probably be better to ask in the Calibre forums

If he does mean the shops list in calibre, surely that just provides a link to the online store? If Amazon.nl was in the list it would do no more than open a web page to the Amazon.nl store.

Do you mean the Kindle store? In "manage content & devices" we can change between some countries. Maybe that's what you're talking about.

If you want to shop in the kindle store for that country I think you'll need a Netherlands address.

I was thinking of "Get Books" where you can search by book or by author, and get a list of all the offerings at the stores you have previously selected in the drop-down and in the Choose Stores pop-up. Amazon.NL is not curently offered on that list.

Ah - I didn't know about that feature (I did go looking!). I suppose we'll have to wait to hear back from Greendevel.

It's probably fairly easy to derive from one of the half-a-dozen existing Amazon variants in src/calibre/gui2/store/stores/, if you can wrangle Python a little. (I'd do it, but I'm not sure if I can verify that anything works -- I don't even use Get Books.)

Hello to all,

In Calibre there is an icon "Get Books", there you can make a choice in witch stores you want to look. My interest goes to books in dutch language, therefor i would like to see "https://www.amazon.nl/278-3566401-6886325".

Can somebody help?

If you want to make an enhancement request for Calibre, you need to be posting in the Calibre forum, not here.
