"Running kindleunpack to get metadata"
"Error: Missing metadata."
"Database Name: A_Game_Of_Thrones"
"ASIN:"
"UniqueID: 2785203474"

After the error, if I click on any buttons, the window that should popup does, but cannot be focused on. For instance, I clicked on "Settings" after the error and now the gui acts lie it's hung, but really the setting menu is opened behind the main window. I know this, because I can see it in my Aero Peek on the windows toolbar, but clicking on it does not bring focus. I can close it from Aero Peek and then the GUI doesn't act hung anymore, but I still can't click on anything.

Also, I don't know if it's possible, but being able to drag'n'drop a file to the "Book" field would be nice too.
Here is a new version (1.1), hopefully the focus issue is gone. You can also drag a book onto the form to populate the path into the book field, let me know if it doesn't work.
For the meta data problem you had, you'll need the book to have an ASIN. You can add the book to Calibre and when you populate the meta-data there, it should put an ASIN in automatically. You can also use a metadata editor to put one in there (I like to use the ASIN from Amazon).

Latest version will be in my most recent post in the thread.
