Get Books does not return results from Amazon US

[casfindad]

Pressing Get books and searching for author or title does not return any results for Amazon US. I am using Calibre 2.14 on Linux.

Just noticed that the Project Gutenberg store plugin also fails to return hits under "Get books". eBooks.com, ManyBooks and Feedbooks all work.

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every Friday.

Project Gutenberg works fine for me. For example:

title:pride prejudice
author:austen

returns two results from PG

Wow, nice work! I just began working with Calibre today, and I'm very, very
impressed. Even the introductory video was very polished. It looks like you
were running Linux with a KDE desktop. If you have a chance, please let me
know what screen recording software you use and recommend. I'm looking for
a good one to use in Linux and/or Mac.

Cheers,

Casey

I use my own script for screencasting, that makes use of various tools
(ffmpeg, xwininfo, qtile)

If I replicate your search, I get no results from PG (nor ManyBooks).

Also, Amazon Kindle US is now returning results.

Finally, if I delete author: austen, I get more results from Amazon Kindle
US. For example, free editions are only returned from Amazon Kindle if I
delete the author search.

FYI, I think the issue is websites being down. The PG website appears down
at the moment.

Amaonz US now works because fixes to Get Books plugins are automatically propagated

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

The problem of US Amazon not working for author:austen is now fixed.
