Looking through the documentation I don't see if it is possible to have the format specified in the plugin listing. For example, I am selling music CDs and vinyl on my site, and in some instances the item title specifies [Vinyl] but in many others it does not. There is a field in the listings on Amazon's site that specifies format (Format=Vinyl directly under the title).

Also for the CDs and vinyl I am listing, the Author field in the plugin listing is blank. Is it possible to either change that to the artist or eliminate it?

You can remove the author from the listing by editing the template, which is in the file amazonWS/tmpl/default.php, remove the line
<?php echo $lists[$i]->author; ?>

Can you give me a couple of item ids for the products you are listing. I will have a look to see what information Amazon returns. The product advertising API which the plugin uses does not necessarily return all the information you see on the product page, but it is possible that format information is returned.

Luckily it seems that the format is returned (they use the 'binding' tag for this).

We are planning a new release of the plugin soon with various improvements, if you don't mind waiting a week or so we can include the tag for you.
