Coming from a Mac, although the interface is the interface is not the prettiest (hate anything windows aesthetics really), I made an exception in this case because calibre is a powerful, nest piece of software. With that said, the metadata search utility is the worst of any metadata search tool I’ve come across - and I use several other tools making sure my information is accurate. It almost never finds the correct information when inserting an isbn. I know all the rules of metadata search and I’m not doing anything wrong in that respect. It consistently pulls out metadata for books in wrong editions, publication release dates, etc. it is becoming a nightmare working with caliber's metadata search and leaves me manually curate metadata fields. I’ve tried every combination possible e.g. amazon (all servers), amazon international plugin (all server combination), google books, and all other book stores. I’ve ticked and untucked all possible combinations of dates, publishers .... it is not pulling the right information form these databases. Delicious, LibraryThing, bookpedia, bookbuddy, bookcrawler, Pocketpedia, CLZ books (some I use for accuracy reference) are all extracting the right information. Clearly this suggests there is an inherent flaw with caliber’s metadata search engine. Not to say it cannot pull one tag from amazon anymore. This is a nice tool but please do something about your metadata search feature, it’s horendous.
