If I also enable Goodreads, it combines the entries, but the description is now blank, presumably because the GR entry doesn't have one.
Another user had these results:

- by using default Amazon PI (the built-in one), I had the same happen which you described: got a blank description when GR is also enabled. Other GR meta fields (grrrating, grvotes, GR identifier etc.) were downloaded as expected.

- using Amazon Multiple Countries (settings: US - Amazon servers): with both GR and AMZ-MC enabled, I got the Amazon description returned -- AN INVASION. A CONSPIRACY. ONE SHOT AT REDEMPTION. (Gee!! sounds fun enough for me), but then I got no meta from GR returned (not one GR field's meta was downloaded)

(a third result I just managed to get: by setting "Choose server automatically" in AMZ-MC, I had the same output as in the first case (a blank description), so GR meta fields were downloaded)
