For instance, I tried to add 100 randomly chosen e-books of mine: it found metadata for merely 5% of them. And these are all recent, well-known technical e-books (with the ISBN number in the filename).
Just out of curiosity, that 5% metadata found - was that after you initially imported the books into Calibre or after you imported the books into Calibre and then ran the Download Metadata function?
