Lookup by ISBN, OCLCnum, or LCCN

Enhance reference with metadata (can serve as an ISBN looker-upper substitute for Amazon)

Optionally notice an ISBN is for an ebook , figure out a probable ISBN for equivalent print, and replace in referent. xID gives formats, so should be possible. ebook ISBN makes many other services fail, like BorrowDirect or other ISBN-based lookups (HathiTrust maybe)

OCLC is shutting down xID, so this is probably moot.
