Well fast answer! ;-)
E.g. looking for the author "Jürgen Seibold" with the entry "Seibold": I find "Endlich frei"
On the site there are further hits as "Bloß keine Maultaschen", "Der arme Konrad", "Schlampig dosiert", "Lindner und die Tageslosung", "Maultaschen-Komplott", "Gründlich abgetaucht".
Looking for "Michael Wanner" with the entry "Wanner" there is no hit. On the site I find "Endstation", "Tödlicher Geburtstag".

I think this is caused by the way get books does searches. Most sites don't have the ability to specify where the words are to be found, so get books uses a general keyword search and returns the first N that the store provides (N is chosen in get books configuration). For that reason it is better to use more words so that the store search engine will find closer matches.

When I search for author Wanner with returned items count set to 20 I get the following results. Both Endstation (by Ulrike Wanner) and Tödlicher Geburtstag by Michael Wanner are on the list.


Searching for Jürgen Seibold gives me the following:


I don't see any way to do better.

I agree on better matches by more search words. Sometimes I am glad to get _any_ match... But first I can give the words I know only.
Using "Jürgen" and "Seibold" I get the same result, too. But the search for "Wanner" does not change.
Where in the settings can I change "N"? I cannot find (see attachment)

Hello,

as an Austrian user, I would like to have access to

thalia.at and
heyn.at

As these sites are in German, I would assist with translations, questions etc. if necessary.

Kind regards,

I have an HP Pavilion with Windows. I use Calibre to get books from Kobo. I use to use Linux Mint on my old computer and everything worked fine. Now with my new system, When I use Calibre and Get Books, I get the menu with all on the book stores listed. When I choose Kobo, or many of the other book stores, I get a new window that is blank. Can anyone help?

The Dutch store http://eboektekoop.nl/ has many books with 'digital watermark'.

I'd love it if it were included.
