I downloaded two Amazon-bought ebooks today to add them to Calibre; one bought today, another a couple of years ago, which I noticed I hadn't downloaded to my computer before.

Neither of them had any metadata beyond author name (which was wrong in one case: it had "BBC and Justin Richards" as the authors of a Doctor Who book, when it should have been "Justin Richards and Trevor Baxendale"), the title of the book, the publisher and the ISBN/ASIN - no description, no useful tags, no series information.

Sometimes Amazon books do also include the description, but not always, and series data may be there or it may not be there.

With a large catalogue of books, I find it very helpful to have book descriptions in Calibre, when considering my next read. And series information is an absolute must-have.
