New add book ISBN search not connecting to Amazon UK

When trying to add the following ISBN 9781529435603 for a book available on Amazon UK (in hardback, paperback, ebook and audiobook), I get the error "Amazon server connect failed." (see attached jpeg). Add book only returns the ebook for Amazon US, but I have the paperback.

ETA: when editing a book's details using the edit button on the Recently Added tab, it returns to the Search Results tab when you save your edits.

I have had the same problem connecting my additions on the site to Amazon UK. Happened yesterday, 15 July 2026; and still happening today. I am a UK subscriber. Can a site controller take a look at this please?

>2 lilithcat: Can't use that - I have the paperback and Amazon US only has the ebook edition

We are looking into it. We hope to have something by the end of today.

Update: is not likely to be resolved by the end of the day but we are working on it. We are caught in the sludge of bureaucracy at Amazon services.
