You can still perform searches for books at that library using this plugin. Not being able to log in mainly prevents finding books that are only available to some library customers and checking the expected wait times for books you have on hold.

Hello, I know this plugin is kind of outdated since there is the Libby, but I still use it to check availability.

Is it possible that when using it that it can overwrite any existing identifiers in the field?

For Example, if I use it to update books that are available through Kindle Unlimited, if it has been removed from KU but there is an old identifier saying that it IS available from KU, is it possible that the identifier can be removed?

Library books are generally never removed from the catalog, but Amazon tends to remove books or switch a purchase only to KU and vise versa. Maybe a setting that allows Amazon identifiers to be overwritten?

THanks in advance!

You can select the books in your library that have links to KU using the Select previously linked books / Available books function and then use the Check current availability of selected books menu choice. That will determine whether books have been removed from KU and unlink them if so.

Edit> Never mind, stupid post - it just needed its annual restart...

Not exactly an OD issue but wondering if anyone else is having trouble delivering OD-borrowed books to a Kindle? Sometimes they get to my Paperwhite3 but many times not. They always get to my Android phone Kindle app with no problem.

The software seems very flaky - I filter my library by library loans and unread, of which I now have 2, but it lists 100+ titles read years ago in some cases, and marking them read doesn't have any effect.

Thanks,
CC

LA County Library has changed their login to include the question of "which libary" and there are two library options in a dropdown list above the library card and pin question. It's a dropdown list containing "LA County Library" and "Books Unbound" unless the plugin gets past that dropdown, it's failing. Hope it can be fixed


Update - Figured it out, forget this post

As always, this plugin has been a huge help to me.

- Amazon (US) is failing for me.

- Scribd has been Everand for a while. I'd been adding manually but then that broke.

- Question: what makes a library's audiobooks available on cloudLibrary? My library has audiobooks but it can never find them: https://ebook.yourcloudlibrary.com/l...onapl/featured

- Some enki books can't be found even though they exist. For example:

https://lapl.enkilibrary.org/Econten...Index=2&page=1

Found 72193@en/ in cache
Updated book info: Legal Universe: Observations of the Foundations of American Law by Vine Deloria Jr. [72193@en, @en/lapl, Wilkins, David E.,, 1 online resource (480 p.)]

- Archive.org now mostly can only find books which are always available rather than via the 60 minutes at a time checkout which you can't download or their longer checkout for a number of days which you can download.

Thank you for the various bug reports.

These days I only use a small subset of the features of this plugin so I don’t know when other things no longer work. I rely on those who care enough to report bugs. If no one bothers to report a problem it isn’t worth my time to deal with it.

I will look into those problems when I have time. However I am currently in the process of moving so it may be a while.
