What happened?

When looking up authors only the amazon.com entry is loaded. there many authors habe no photos or description. on amazon.de the same ASIN finds picture an description.
ABS seems to access only amazon.com.
example:
https://www.amazon.de/stores/author/B00455RUYK
https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00455RUYK

Author matches use the library provider. I tested with that author and it works when I select Audible.de
