Thank you. Typing in:

United States

works for me. No abbreviation for that seems allowed.

The same for Chrome IIRC.

I tried that, and a few other anti-geolocation settings I googled, but it still knows I am 38.6 miles from Allentown New Jersey, regardless of browser, and even regardless of Windows or Linux. You must have the touch

For those using this, the inclusion of OpenLibrary and 3M has to be an awesome feature. And I don't find reading through OpenLibrary misscans annoying. My main problem with the Calibre plugin is that, despite reading the documentation, I can't figure out a good way to specify the book I am looking for. I've mostly tried getting the ISBN from Kobo.com and then using the Calibre Add Books to bring in the metadata. That sometimes works, but for the book I mentioned in #25, and am now reading as a Kindle eBook from the Brooklyn Overdrive collection, the plugin returns:

So, for now, I am sticking with the dandelioncottage approach.

P.S. to #31: I just realized that the reason the plug-in did not find Winter in Madrid is that I was using the default setting of searching for ePub only, and this title is only available as PDF or Kindle. Configure to also search for mobi/Kindle, and it does find the Brooklyn copy.

Overdrive seems to know where I am too dammit.

But if I look for a book and click on it and click find library and put United States in the second column it gives me a very long list, same for zip or state, province etc. Seems to work okay.
