I like the convenience of Calibre just downloading the cover, but generally try to insert the best cover I can find, which usually isn't LT/Amazon. Just trying to save myself the steps of manually searching if I can.

I'm not doing massive bulk downloads myself either, but based on the discussions I've seen around LibraryThing I'm guessing there are a fair number of users that are doing exactly that.

Side note - I figured out why search.overdrive.com wasn't working with advanced search - their application expects spaces to be replaced by '+' in author names/book titles, which you can see in my example previously with the library query. Overdrive's own advanced search is broken and escaping the spaces with %20, which causes the lookup to fail.
