Hi,

I'm stuck on this one. I need my books (sideloaded) to have the Kindle ASIN (the one starting with B0) in order to integrate with Goodreads, but with 99% books, when I download the metadata, I get the identifier for the paperback version, which doesn't work for goodreads integration. Then I got to go to the Amazon site, copy the Kindle ASIN manually, paste it into calibre and then run the quality check fix...

So, is there a way to force calibre to download the metadata from the kindle version specifically?

I'm running a Kindle Paperwhite 3 (2015).

Thanks!
