Because the metadata is not as accurate as the filename data for author and series, I can't permit caliber to pull only metadata from the internal information, it makes a mess of the imported books.
I don't need information from the online sources and that speed limit is annoying when the data is already accurate and present in the file names for most sections I care about(author, series) from the filenames, it's just a few pieces of missing information I'd like to pull from the file's metadata.
It doesn't matter where the data is coming from. You then fix the entry's information and use Polish Books to update the metadata and/or cover in the eBook. So you do get things fixed without having to worry about what the original metadata or filename is.
