Wikipedia vs. Goodreads (SOLVED)
Now that clicking on the author's name in the book-details panel takes me to Goodreads instead of Wikipedia, I find that Goodreads is useless in the majority of cases to find the information I seek, and I have to go manually to Wikipedia to search for it.

Is there a way to revert to the former behaviour ?

Or perhaps give the user a choice in the Preferences ?

If this is clicking in Calibre, then you've posted in the wrong forum section.

Exactly what I needed, and was too daft to find.
Grateful thanks.
