How to manually point book to correct Amazon page for metadata?
If I run the automatic metadata download and it points to the wrong book (usually a wrong edition) how do I manually point it to the correct one? A lot of the times I'm able to find the book with a simple Amazon search but I don't see any way to get the book looking at that Amazon page instead of the one it found automatically.

Also, I've seen some Calibre videos where a pop-up showing the various metadata sources that were found which you can pick from and then pick the cover, etc like in this video https://youtu.be/ao2KYHxJz9U?t=2m25s but I don't see those screens, is that something I need to turn on? Or is that an outdated feature?

Edit Metadata (press 'E'), click the Download metadata button at the bottom and you'll get the screens in the video. You can configure the process via the gears icon next to the Download button.

To get a specific edition you'll probably need to enter the corresponding ISBN and/or ASIN for that edition into the IDs column before doing the download - but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Ah, thanks. Yes, copying in the ISBN from the correct Amazon page fixed it.
