Issues that seem left over from http://sourceforge.net/p/jabref/bugs/1241/
I tried 0-444-41881-4 and 0444418814 which return an “Invalid ISBN” message. It is a valid ISBN and all other ISBN sites find the book. The message is misleading and should be “ISBN metadata unavailable”. Perhaps unlike http://manas.tungare.name/software/isbn-to-bibtex/ http://www.ebook.de/ does not accept the old 10 digit ISBN. I tried 9780444418814 (the 13 digit converted ISBN) and ebook.de returned the same message. SOMETHING SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE HELP FILE TO EXPLAIN THIS MISLEADING “Invalid ISBN” MESSAGE.
Trying to figure out why I read http://jabref.sourceforge.net/faq.php "Q: I have an ISBN. Is it possible to create an entry directly out of the ISBN?" and http://jabref.sourceforge.net/help/ISBNtoBibTeXHelp.php which are still to reflect what has changed, unlike the JabRef Help src/main/resources/help/en/ISBNtoBibTeXHelp.html (It is good that the embedded help is current). PLEASE UPDATE THE ONLINE CONTENT.
