Can't get metadata for EPUB for Nook.

Configuration: PC Win 7. Not sure if this is part of problem, but I we have 2 separate user accounts - both updated to Calibre 0.7.15. One account is set up for the Kindle - this was the original account. Now my son has purchased a nook and is trying to set up calibre on his separate user account on the same PC. I have had some problems with the Kindle account getting metadata - it often shows none, but sometimes it works. But I can cut and paste from Amazon if I have to.

I can get covers on both.

On EPUB nook account, can import book but when go to add metadata I get the following message - "No metadata found, try adjusting the title & author or the ISBN key. " Title and author match book - got a new ISBN key for this calibre nook account to see if that would help. Still the same. The error message blocks any cutting and pasting.

I have downloaded the User Guide, but the Section on editing E-book Metadata is blank.

I see I have several plugins for metadate which seem to be enabled.

I am a big fan of Calibre and hope I can get it working for both e readers.

Any help or advice would be sincerely appreciated.

Thank you
Amy
