[Metadata Source Plugin] Amazon.com Multiple Countries
This plugin allows you to download metadata from an additional Amazon.com country portal, in addition to the builtin Amazon.com metadata source.
Created by request in this thread. Behind the scenes, it simply subclasses the builtin plugin and offers an additional copy under a different name. ![]() The default country portal is France, because that was second on the list after the US (which is the default for the builtin plugin). But obviously, like the buitin source, you can configure it to whichever additional country portal you wish. Special Notes:

And in case anyone wants three or more sources at the same time, here are some additional copies.

Using the plugin, I've noticed one problem.
My standard set-up is with Amazon US (built-in Calibre plugin) and Amazon Germany (Multiple Countries) on. In some cases (I guess it's when books are in both Amazon stores, which is the case of e.g. some English-language books, offered on Amazon.de) the downloaded comments are a mixture of data from both sources, and some paragraphs are repeated. Is there any way to fix this? Here an example: Quote:

Depending on how you do your metadata downloads, multiple results may or may not be merged.
![]() Obviously, this is extra noticeable when they both return identical results... IIRC, when downloading metadata for one book at a time, you can choose which result to use, and when downloading for multiple books en masse, calibre will automatically merge the results. ... tl;dr Nothing to do with this plugin or Amazon. |

Option to set IF language is English/Japanese, uses the corresponding Amazon source
Hi @eschwartz
Your plugin for multiple source amazon countries is very useful. ![]() I'm currently using the US (really need Australia) & Japan amazon stores. A couple of questions/requests:
Thanks, Inukami |

No, the plugin settings are per user profile (or, in theory, per calibre configuration directory).
Either way, you "could" also just go into your settings every time and change the website it uses. I mean, really, this plugin was originally created for people who wanted to just return e.g. the results for both Amazon US and Amazon Japan, so that depending on the language of the book you can choose which one is a better result. Or more likely, only one store would have a result, and the other store would simply error and return no results. |

Hi @eschwartz,
Yes you are correct. I think I won't worry about it then. As most of my manga have Japanese titles, it would be using the Amazon Japan store anyway. Thanks again for great little plugin ![]() Thanks, Inukami |
