this should not bother me this much

Apparently Goodreads soon can't use the Amazon data anymore, because Amazon put even more restrictions on this or something. Instead they use other sources, and they ask you to enter data for those of your books that don't have other sources. That applied to quite a number of mine (almost a hundred), and I dutifully entered stuff, though thankfully for many not every field had to be entered.

So that was mildly inconvenient, but what really bothers me is that the replacement data they imported from some other sources is oddly formatted sometimes, and I can't fix it, because I don't have librarian rights. For example it messes up the capitalization (and sometimes punctuation and spaces) in titles that were okay before. In German book titles only the nouns are capitalized not verbs or adjectives, but somehow the new source or sources for many of the books capitalize every single word. It looks horrible and wrong. This is driving me crazy when I look at my book list now.
