I've been trying to search for books to download with the "Get Books" button but no matter what I try searching it never finds anything. Originally I thought there just weren't any digital versions of what I was searching for but then I tried searching something I knew Amazon had but was hoping to find a better price (various Amy Tan books) and it still found nothing. So I even tried searching the book it showed in the welcome video and it didn't find anything. I tried using the title/author tab in the advanced search box but still found nothing.

I also noticed that when I tried downloading metadata or finding a cover for a book I had in my library it couldn't find anything, but it's a PDF and I read that Calibre has trouble with PDFs so I chalked it up to that.

Oh and I tried rebooting in debug mode because I saw someone say that helped them, but it didn't change anything for me.

I've been searching all over the Calibre help page and this forum trying to find an answer with no success so I hope you guys can help me out because it's getting really frustrating. Thanks so much!

Your firewall is probably blocking Calibre.exe
