That is an incredibly old version of Calibre.
![]() You need a later version as Amazon changed their servers and Calibre updated to match. 8.27 is today's version |

When I start this query I got 14 results. May be the source you are looking have no entries for your request.

That looks like generic internet connectivity errors. Probably a stale proxy setting. Check your proxy settings in Internet Explorer (calibre copies them from there).

I just installed the Windows version of calibre 0.830 and I still cannot download any metadata. There's no proxy enabled in IE and I can fetch news without any problems. I.e. firewalls and/or proxies cannot be causing this problem.
I'm still getting a Failed to make identify query: ... error message for each search plug-in even though I searched for a well-known bestseller. All default plug-ins report the same errors (with different line numbers): Code:

I have checked my proxy settings and am on "auto-detect proxy settings"
Still no luck with metadata downloads using Firefox. On another computer using Internet Explorer 7 and Caliber Ver 8.29, metadata is downloading fine. |

Weird Metadata error
Hi, I have been using calibre for quite a while, but have a metadata download problem on Ubuntu and Win7. I am behind a proxy (no authentication required), but I get the following error, which I am not able to make sense of (calibre v0.8.30):
