It's bot protection, based on the user agent header. The following will duplicate what mechanize sends and works for me

Code:

calibre-debug -c "from calibre import browser; br = browser(); br.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Python-urllib/3.9')]; br.open('https://www.kobo.com/search?Query=9781299600850&fcmedia=Book&fclanguages=all')"
