Things you can do to workaround this are: 1) Go to preferences->metadata download and configure the amazon
source changing the server from auto to amazon. 2) Install some more metadata sources via Preferences->Plugins->Get new plugins, such as Kobo or Apple metadata and cover sources.
Oh ok that explains it then. Thanks for the info.

I've tried switching server to Amazon and my country to UK but still see it trying to search amazon.com in the logs. Is this expected behaviour? And because of the new restrictions I guess the Amazon high res covers plugin is no longer working?

I'll also try adding more metadata source plugins
