Thanks for the response.

However, that doesn't seem to be the case for me. I'm using 0.8.34 on a Mac, and have also tested this with the Linux version.

Exact method to reproduce (without need for Kindle):
  • Load a book with a random cover and no Amazon ID into Calibre
  • Right click, Edit Metadata, Download Metadata and Covers, Download Both
  • Cover changes and Amazon ID is listed on the right
  • Visit http://localhost:8080/mobile with server running (it also happens with non-mobile site, but I use the mobile site on the Kindle)
  • Click on MOBI and download
  • Add this new book to Calibre, saying yes it's OK to duplicate (just an easy way to see the cover/metadata)
  • This new MOBI file/book does not have the new cover or the Amazon ID

I can post a video if required.

If I Save to Disk a MOBI file, and then add that file to Calibre, it does contain all the relavent metadata. My suggestion was to have the web interface function the same way, especially as it relates to the Amazon ID.

I could be doing something dumb that's causing the ID to not come over, if so, let me know

Thanks,
Ben
