I double click on the number following /dp/ and paste it into the ISBN box in Calibre edit metadata and click download cover. In this case 055380720X

You do realize that the link you posted (after extracting the interfering red) points to an image that has the Amazon logo on top, and by taking the ISBN from the Amazon link and sticking it "into the ISBN box in Calibre edit metadata and click download cover" Calibre is not fetching from Amazon. You seem to be confirming why Kovid does not use Amazon for covers.
