bookpedia and bol.it
Hi all,
I'm a new user of bookpedia and I've a little question: is it possible to search for data about italian books on bol.it instead of ibs.it? it seems to me that bol.it has much informations, covers, summary and even a better isbn search than ibs.it.
Does somebody has or could (and would ) write a plug-in?
Thanks,
spike

I've tried writing a plug-in for one of the bol sites once and had to give up because their site was impossible to parse. Then one of our users started work on bol.nl a while back but we haven't heard back from him again... It seems like those sites aren't very plug-in friendly. But I can have a look at them again in the future.
Googling for bookpedia and bol.it I found a similar application (Booxter) which uses Bol.it, so I think it shouldn't be impossible (but I don't know what I'm talking about... ) and actually this app finds more informations for italian books. But I'd prefer to use Bookpedia, which seems to me better than Booxter.Nora wrote: It seems like those sites aren't very plug-in friendly. But I can have a look at them again in the future.
Ok. Thank you for your reply and greetings from Italy.

problems with bol.it search
Bol.it plugin seems to don't work anymore. It does not find any books with italian iban.
Thankyou for the great work, bookpedia is the best application around (pleas make it work for italian books!).

It is not the firewall, I have user little snitch to expressly authorize bookpedia. It is pratically unable to find any italian isbn. if you want to try I'll give you some:
Hugo, Notre dame de paris (mondadori): 8804477865
Bellow, Herzog (mondadori): 8804341149
Bassani, Il giardino dei finzi continui(mondadori): 8804495995
saramago, l'anno della morte di riccardo reis (einaudi): 8806141449
Are all very famous well selled books.

Yes IBS.it plug-in works fine with keywords, but not with isbn. Actually, you can't do a search based on the isbn numbers neither on the ibs.it website.
I'd like a Bol.it plug-in both for the isbn search (especially trough iSight, I'm going to buy an iMac) and for the more data you can find on it (especially summary).
Bye!
