The last few days I have been having really spoty results downloading metadata from amazon. One out of 10 books will actually download. These are books that I just downloaded from my amazon account via computer and then added to calibre. They do not bring any metadata such as comments or tags with them however the books are good and I can read them with the book viewer. I then hit control D after selecting all books that I downloaded. Typically it just errors out on all of them. Sometimes I can pick a specific book and hit e for edit and then download metadata from there. More often it isn't working there either.

maybe later I will try again and it works. I read this thread and enabled the overdrive plugin and one of three books I was trying to download metadata just moments before actually worked but the other two did not. For something that was working well just days ago all the time, it is really frustrating. I'm thinking some of it is on amazons end as I am getting this error sometimes. Not sure that it is a valid message about to many books as this time I was only trying to get metadata for three books. I can change my IP address and it will still give that error. It's just frustrating.

CaptchaError: Amazon returned a CAPTCHA page, probably because you downloaded too many books. Wait for some time and try again.
