Upgrade StorageZotero Chrome Connector not Retrieving Book Abstracts from Amazon
Hi, I work for the Isis Current Bibliography. We heavily rely on your service for grabbing citation metadata. I feel like in the past the zotero connector would grab book synopses from amazon and place that data in the "abstract" field for books, but is no longer doing so -- is this a bug or a design feature?

MM287I have noticed the same since a few months

sagearborI also had issues with amazon today , using chrome plugin. Saved as a webpage instead of for book. Ive been using zotero for almost a decade but hadn't tried with amazon (usually PubMed) so don't know if user error (if I need to be on a subpage to work).

adamsmithWe always need sample URLs for reports of import problems.

shannagonzalezI am also having this problem on a new installation of Zotero. The connect successfully imports the abstract along with other metadata on my old computer, and versions are the same. I've tried reinstalling Chrome and Zotero.
