Attn. Jaclyn: Description missing text when imported by bots.

I have noticed it as well. Often it seems to occur after a colon or an em dash, though not always.I've also noticed that some records for new books imported without a cover have the dropped-text error in the description. As a matter of course, I've started overwriting the description with a fresh copy from Amazon when I find those.
The issue with a word followed by a colon missing in automatic imported descriptions has already been reported to the staff by at least one person.
Thanks for reporting this issue with the book descriptions, our developers have been informed about it.



For instance this record, imported by the amazon_catalog bot on June 12th for ASIN:B0C7SL6KPD

From the Librarian Changelog I copy hereafter my amendment to the imported description, where the corrections show in bold, underlined:
This is just an example and I've seen more of this...
Has anyone else noticed this kind of omissions too and is it worth reporting to Support?
