Or you can follow the directions here: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/develop.html to run a development environment for calibre, using the latest binaries and source code. From there you have two options.

Either change this line here: from "if isxp" to "if False", to disable the check, and see if it runs alright (sometimes yes, sometimes no). Depends on various things: sse2, Phase of the Moon generator status, etc...
Or run the command "git checkout v1.48.0" to use the code matching the current calibre 1.48 install, then update selected bits of code with critical stuff, in this case the Amazon metadata code here: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...rces/amazon.py
Just download the new copy of the file, and replace the old version.

I suggested the same thing to someone who was missing the Kobo device driver compatibility with the H2O (which needs a new USB ID).
