Perhaps there should be an additional method to match Author by ASIN

Right now the levenshtein distance is set to 2 and the name Mark Russinovich is distance 3 from the name in audible Mark E. Russinovich. I think we should extend the levenshtein distance to 3 that would match the first name.

However, the other 2 names you listed should be matching since they are distance 1 and 0 respectively. When you are updating the author name are you pressing "Submit" before running the match again?

Weird. So I just tried this again, I changed the name to Mark Russinovich hit Submit followed by Quick Match and no dice. Next I tried Mark E Russinovich hit Submit followed by Quick Match and this time it matched, but removed the E setting the name back to Mark Russinovich but now populating the image and ASIN.

v2.0.14 will use the ASIN value when quick matching if it is set.
