For quite a while now Calibre has not found any metadata from Amazon for any book in my library. I've been using the default metadata search options, I've never changed anything, and it seems like if the book doesn't exist on Google Books, then metadata search fails. In the error example below, the Amazon output states "no results found" but if you copy/paste the URLs, there are results found but I have no idea how Calibre is supposed to interpret those results. It's not really a huge deal, I've been manually copy/pasting book summary over for everything I've been adding, but it is certainly a pain. Does anybody have any advice or a solution for me?
