![]() Fake UPC on imported (grocery) goods was a pain. Some of the fakes were even in the wrong family (the first digit). The store would call, It won't take (or find at checkout) when we enter these items. Some of the reason is $$ to register your Publisher #. Others is just ignorance that the code needs to be unique (or not likely to ever be seen at that type of business: Walmart types make this less possible) And then, there are printing errors. Books issued with the wrong UPC (Bookman). |

Yes, it is available in the US. https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/dawn-136
It does download the cover correctly when I manually add the ISBN to the ID fiield. Here is the log. Spoiler:

I once download an eBook from overdrive that had the wrong ISBN. It was an eBook from Tor.

Possible bug: Incorrect ISBNs prevent metadata download.
Steps to replicate. 1. Set metadata providers to only Kobo Metadata. 2. Set country to Canada. (May not be necessary.) 3. Add this book: Title: Halo: Contact Harvest Author: Joseph Staten ID: kobo:halo-contact-harvest-8 4. Attempt to download metadata. It should fetch it. 5. Now add isbn:9784878920110 to the IDs field. (Note: This is actually an ISBN for a completely different book; a character has a military service number '48789-20114' which coincidentally is a valid ISBN-10. ISBN Extract picked it up and my metadata processing converted it to the 13 form.) 6. Now the metadata fails to download. The Kobo Books plugin downloads the metadata with an incorrect ISBN.

I actually ran into a very similar issue with the ISBN extractor plugin. One of the series I was trying to tag had every single ISBN from the series in the copyright section for some reason so every book in that series got the exact same ISBN. I suggest you let this plugin write the ISBN id for you instead. |

WHY! are you using Get ISBN on a EPUB? They were published with the correct one in the books metadata.
The plugin (my interpretation) was mostly for PDF and other documents that do not have well defined metadata (identifiers) As you discovered, you run the risk of corrupting valid metadata. FWIW My Service number was 7 digits: nnn-nn-nn then some idjut decide stenciling my SSAN all over my gear was a brilliant idea |

How well does ISBN Extract work when the eBook has multiple ISBN (Hardcover, paperback, eBook)?

It depends on the publisher. I noticed that the plugin checks the ISBNs in reverse, so if the eBook ISBN is the last one listed it'll be properly selected. I usually do a manual check while checking the chapter count.

Could you add a feature that allows as to select a primary country but also multiple (or all) other countries for cover search?
I find, that a single country often fails but if I manually search with US, Canada and Germany I often find the missing covers, but i have to change the country each time. |

How do I remove the 'Kobo Metadata' from the identifiers of every book that has an ISBN?

Code:
identifiers:"=isbn:" and identifiers:"=kobo:" Now you should be able to make a temp VL, use the tag browser to remove those |
