In the last moths of using DL I have been trying to keep my virtual library as visually real as possible. I.E. Choose the right format for every book, so it is displayed at a relative size that is close to reality.
Take for instance my comic book paperbacks: On Amazon they are listed as paperbacks, which in DL makes them absurdely small. Through trial and error I found out that I can replace the format "Paperback" with "Comic" and now get a much larger (and truer) visual representation of the book.
A while ago I discovered "Mass Market Paperback" for undersized paperbacks.
My question: is there a list of which formats are available? I have found nothing on the DL website. Alternatively, even better would be a pull-down menu in the details-window, where you can choose from all available formats.
(On a related note: while it is nice to have the non-english amazon sites supported, the book formats there are not. For instance "Taschenbuch" in the german store is not recognized as "Paperback" and therefore uses the generic "Hard Cover" representation. Any plans to change that in the near future?)

Doing a search on the website for "format" yields the following list:
http://www.delicious-monster.com/help.php?id=34#article
Hardcover, Hardback
Mass Market Paperback
Trade Paperback
Comic Book
Softcover, Paperback
Audio
CD, Disc, Compact
Cassette
Record, LP, Vinyl
DVD, Playstation 2
Nintendo, Gameboy, Nintendo DS
Playstation
Sony PSP
Sega Saturn
Super Nintendo, SNES
Nintendo 64, N64
As for German formats and what have you, it helps if people email us that stuff so we can add it, but by all means, list here all the formats in German or any other languages you guys know.

Although PSP is available under games, UMD is not available under movies, yet. It should find its way into a future version.
