I think there has been a misunderstanding.

Putting it simply, the Kobo Books Metadata source plugin does not work. Something has changed in the way that the Kobo store is hosted that is blocking the download of pages from them. At this point I have no real idea what it is or how to fix it. I think it will be related to using Akamai for hosting or caching, but, have not had a real chance to look at it.

In my last post, I am only commenting on how to create the Kobo identifier. If you have the Kobo Books Metadata source plugin installed, if you have a URL for a book from the Kobo store, when you click the paste button it should add the Kobo books identifier. That does not appear to be happening for you. The only thing I can think of is that you are clicking in a way that presents the menu, and have a "URL" option that you are choosing.

But, even if you have the identifier, you will not be able to get the metadata from Kobo. Right now, it is only useful to let you click in the details pane and go to the page. Hopefully I will be able to fix the metadata source plugin so the metadata can be retrieved.
