A powerful metadata source plugin for Calibre designed to automatically retrieve ASIN identifiers by searching across multiple international Amazon stores (IT, COM, UK, DE, FR, ES). It is especially useful when standard metadata sources fail to find a book's unique Amazon identifier.
- Multi-Store Search: Automatically checks Kindle versions across different regional stores, including Italy, USA, UK, Germany, France, and Spain.
- Smart Validation: Uses a weighted scoring system to verify results by comparing titles and authors, preventing false positives.
- Anti-Bot Protection: Implements rotating User-Agents and randomized delays to minimize the risk of IP throttling or bans.
- Automated Releases: Built-in GitHub Actions workflow to package the plugin into a ready-to-use ZIP file with every new version tag.
