Hi Jean-Philippe,

I'm sorry your message got blocked and I didn't see it for a while. I've 
been away from a computer for a couple of weeks.

The comics collection should search amazon. Did you add a data source for 
amazon.fr instead of amazon.com?

I tried the title search and got a deprecated warning from python about the 
md5 module. And the window got way too big. That's a bug. But I got results 
with a title search for "filles de soleil" instead of "les filles de 
soleil". Can you try that? The script doesn't appear to search by isbn.

The default comics collection should probably have an isbn field, I guess. 
It will only work for amazon search if you name it exactly ISBN (no 
punctuation or anything else...) I couldn't find the exact ISBN you listed, 
but something like 2-235-00396-6 worked for amazon.fr.

I hope that helps un peu,
Robby
