Adding other sources
Hi,
is it possible to add other sources for web searches? in germany we have the german national library where i can search for isbn (http://z3950gw.d-nb.de/z3950/zfo_get_...) and for movies the ofdb oder imdb.
This could be very useful.

Inappropriate?Right now this is not possible, but it's something we're looking into for Version 3.

this is one of the best points

Inappropriate?Although it's butt-ugly, a program that's been around for many years called READERWARE -- that also can use a USB-based barcode scanner -- had the ability to not only access Amazon.com but also the Library Of Congress, IMDB, AllMusic.com and other venerable data sites. Ultimately I couldn't stand using the software anymore and gave up on it some years back, but this one thing could really put DL over the top were you to go for it. I'm just sayin'...
I’m excited

Inappropriate?You'll find there are lots of threads on this board requesting this feature. I wonder if it would be possible to use Readerware or one of the other cataloging program that supports the bar code scanner, and export the information for import into DL2?
When DL2 can't find a book's ISBN I usually end up doing is using Wikipedia's BookSource tool to find the info from another database, and manually enter it into DL2. As you can imagine, it's quite a pain.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?And even for the Amazon Database, since I am a Chinese user, would it be possible to add the source from different Amazon database around the world? Such as I usually using Amazon.cn (http://www.amazon.cn/) purchasing stuffs, nearly 90% of my DVDs, Books is bought from these kind of Asian site and its data just not goes to Amazon database or any western shopping site. It surely would be great if this function would be alive in DL3 !
:)
I’m looking forward !!!
