I have been using Calibre in Windows and am in the process of switching over to Linux Mint.

I update the Metadata when I add new books. I noticed that most of the time when I got the results there was no summary available when using Linux . If I rebooted and ran the same Metadata update in Windows I almost always get summary results.

After looking at the list of sources Calibre offers to search for Metadata information is severely lacking in Linux compared to the Windows version of the program.

Is there a way to add the same list of Metadata sources that Windows has to the Linux program?
