I've also not been able to download any amazon metadata (us), either for individual or bulk editing. Most of the books that I'm editing are from amazon, so the info should be there. Looks like February 3rd was the last time I was able to get metadata from amazon. Currently on calibre 0.8.37 under windows.
I suspect that it's something that Amazon is doing with their data/servers as Goodreads sent out messages that all their books with kindle info needed to be "rescued." Goodreads email: "As you may have noticed, Goodreads is transitioning to new sources of data for its book records. For years, we've used Amazon's data, and while they have always had certain restrictions and requirements, those terms have gotten harder and harder to adhere to. We have been working diligently to find a new, independent source of data. Amazon has given us until January 30 to stop using their data, and we have to meet this deadline."
I'm trying to be patient and wait out changes/updates going on at amazon but don't know if this is a sporadic issue or a widespread one.
