I use Calibre to manage my audiobook collection. However, when I try to do a metadata lookup on Amazon, it almost never finds the audiobook version of the book even though the information is there. What I have been having to do is go amazon, do a manual search for the book, locate the ASIN number and manually enter it in the ID's box in the metadata lookup window. (i.e. Amazon: B004U8IHI0). Once I do that, it finds the correct edition of the book.

This works, but it's very time-consuming, as I have almost 1000 books to go through.
