I've got Calibre installed on two computers, both running Vista, but one is still running 0.6.44, and the other is running the latest version.

I can't pinpoint when this broke, but if I download a book and de-drm it, and import it to Calibre in the older version, it imports all the metadata - including author and, usually, a cover.

In the other one with the newer version, it imports the book with the title but leaves the author as 'unknown', and I have to hand edit the metadata and attempt to download a cover.

I usually only do 2-3 books at a time, but just wondered what had changed?
