Thanks Dave. With the help of your comments I've now realized a couple of things:
1. Goodreads metadata plug-in missing. Although the "download metadata" feature is accessed by a right-click on ePubs and so seems to be an integral feature of Calibre, it also uses second-party plug-ins to access alternative data sources. Under Calibre V4.23 I had a Goodreads metadata plug-in source which was missing under Calibre V5.x so I have now installed the Sept 2020 version of that plug-in.
2. Two levels of metadata configuration. I was confused when you were telling me to check the metadata download configuration because I always specify which data I want downloaded (e.g. tags and/or comments), but I now remember that for certain metadata sources (e.g. amazon.com or goodreads) there is also a source-specific configuration option that applies to some sources. In my prior reliance on goodreads, I had configured the alternative amazon.com source such that although it accessed metadata (as shown in the log) I was not selecting that data to incorporate into my Calibre data base and was only using it as an alternative source for covers.
Problem solved.
Thanks !
