Goodreads edition/version select? (Hardcover/kindle)

Is there any way to make calibre's "Download Metadata" only fetch the Hardcover edition of a book? I managed to wipe the 'pages' column info from most of my library and now the 'count pages' plugin isn't working for a large chunk of them because it fetched metadata for the ebook or kindle version, rather than the hardback/paperback version which on goodreads doesn't show the total pages information.

I am having to go in manually and get the goodreads number for the hardback version for each individual one and it's going to take an age.

If I search for metadata, I even have the slow mode on to grab the 'highest rated' version, and that even sometimes picks the *lower rated* ebook/kindle version, rather than the main hardcover version from goodreads.

Any way to do the above?
