If I set my preferences to getting info amazon.com, I get the full prose description of the book from amazon entered into the library. If I set my preferences to amazon.co.uk, I get the routine publication details but don't get the prose description of the book. Anyone any idea why and how to correct this? Thanks!

Just discovered that you get the same phenomenon importing data from (i) amazon.co.uk versus (ii) amazon.com into Bookpedia -- in case (i) you don't get the descriptive data, and in case (ii) you do. So it isn't a specifically Delicious issue.

What I hate is that you can't just tell DL to get data from another Amazon, unless you re-create the book all over again.

(Apparently, this isn't fixed in DL2 either.)
