I'm updating over 400 books metadata. Seems like after 40 or so Amazon barfs and stops giving me the result. Wait a couple of hours and it's working again.
I've closed and reopened program no difference. Can still access Amazon via Chrome.
I'm assuming Amazon is shutting down access because of the repeated quick hits on the address.
This happens with metadata queries that I just pulled from Amazon, so I know it's there.
Here's the log
calibre, version 3.6.0
ERROR: No matches found: <p>Failed to find any books that match your search. Try making the search <b>less specific</b>. For example, use only the author's last name and a single distinctive word from the title.<p>To see the full log, click "Show details".
