Frequent Failure of Metadata Downloads

Recently I'm getting various problems with Metadata downloads for Kindle books.

1 Failure to download anything - the book summary is what I very much want.

2 Replacement of correct title with incorrect one which seems to happen mostly or only with Book Series, where the Series name is part of the title.
( I unchecked the Title metadata option in an effort to avoid this problem)

Since I expect it would be helpful to have an example, in order to troubleshoot here is an example:

The Sunbird by Elizabeth Wein
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...w_myk_ro_title

No matches found
The Calibre error message suggest making the search less specific, but I don't know where to do this.

I end up manually copying and pasting the book summary (comments section).



Thanks,

Dan

PS Calibre is one of the 3 top programs that I use every day, which is why I urge everyone to support by donating !
