No metadata match?

When I issue the same http query manually, I get a hit. Am I missing something?

http://www.amazon.com/s/?sort=releva...s&unfiltered=1

calibre, version 0.9.40

Ok, thanks. In looking around I discovered the existence of the ISBN plugin. It pulled the ISBN from the book and I was then able to get the metadata.

I'll put it down to solar flares ;-)

@Macthelist - what happened to you with Calibre/Amazon has happened to me, and I also found that getting the ISBN into the Id helped.

I think its an Amazon glitch - I often can't find things at Amazon.com today, that I found there yesterday - I suspect it may be location related. When it happens I search with Google and use its link to Amazleep
