Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

None of the currently implemented metadata provider options seem to be able to find many of the ebooks we can get through Humble Bundle, and some other sources.
https://bookscouter.com/ seems to be able to find them.
Google, Amazon and Open Library seem to be able to find them within Calibre, but for some reason, not in Audiobookshelf.

Can these providers be added for eBook metadata?

Why would this be helpful?

Helpful for libraries consisting of only eBooks.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Another option in the dropdown menu to select metadata providers.

Maybe a setting to set a library to only eBooks could help. There is already one for audiobooks only.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.21.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

If this is not added as a built-in provider, someone can also create a custom metadata provider interface for it.

https://www.audiobookshelf.org/guides/custom-metadata-providers

There is already a feature request for ebook-only libraries.
