[Metadata Source Plugin] Amazon.CN

Calibre Metadata Source Plugin for Amazon.CN

This plugin allows Calibre to read book information from Amazon.cn when you choose to download/fetch metadata. Calibre currently comes with plugins for a number of information sources such as Amazon and Google books. Adding this plugin can potentially increase both the success rate and quality of information retrieved for some of your Chinese books.

Main Features of v0.3.0

This plugin can retrieve amazon_cn id, title, author, comments, rating, publisher, publication date, language, tags and covers from Amazon.cn. The amazon_cn id will also be displayed in the book details panel as "Amazon.cn" to be clicked on and taken directly to the website for that book.

Special Notes:
  • Requires Calibre 0.8 or later.
  • No ISBN information for kindle books can be retrieved from Amazon.cn since almost all chinese kindle books have no ISBN information.

Installation Notes:

Download the zip file and install the plugin as described in the Introduction to plugins thread. Note that this is not a GUI plugin so it is not intended/cannot be added to context menus/toolbars etc.
You can also find this on my GitHub page: https://github.com/fated/calibre_amazon_cn

Paypal Donations:

If you find this plugin useful please feel free to show your appreciation. I have spent many unpaid hours in its development and support so any encouragement for me to continue is appreciated!
