Status of GetBooks Plugin?
There is a forum thread dedicated to GetBooks, but it has been inactive for a few years and I don't see the plugin in the Index of Calibre Plugins. The Calibre blog has an article on GetBooks dated July 12th, 2020, but the article identifies the latest Calibre version as 0.8.21, which was certainly not the case in 2020. What is the status of the GetBooks plugin?

The get books function is still present, click the get books button in calibre to use it.

Hmmm.. That blog looks to be written by Sam (aka Sam Cohen who also happens to be the owner of "Calibre Companion"). To my eyes it looks as if he republished all the old articles updating the published date.

Yes Sam wanted to try to make a go of the blog and since no one else was contributing articles to it, I decided to let him.

Many thanks for the prompt replies! I guess GetBooks no longer appears in the Index of Calibre Plugins because it is now built into Calibre. Are requests to add sites to GetBooks still being accepted? If so, is the GetBooks thread the place to submit them, or is there a newer "wish list"?
