Further along this same thread - the ISBN I configured for the book is the ISBN for the epub edition I saw in the Overdrive metadata.

That worked well for covers, but didn't work for other metadata types.

Apparently this ISBN doesn't exist in either Google/ISBNDB, and due to that fact Calibre immediately came back with 'No matches found for this book' instead of attempting to query the other metadata providers that are configured.
