Kindle only books ISBN

setite · 10-31-2010, 03:47 AM

I have a book that is only available in Kindle format, is there no way to import it into Calibre? Here it is. I tried putting the ASIN in ISBN field to retrieve the good author info and social metadata, but no joy.

It more than likely is a DRMed ebook. And in that case calibre can not make that modification.

DRM *cough* is something that can be *cough* removed. With the right *cough* software.

Yea there is no DRM on this copy

. My problem is simply that there is no ISBN I can put into Calibre because it seems that the book has none.

This is the book. I can't find a way to get calibre to pull down the metadata for it. I have done it manually for the most part, but my OCD demands a more thorough treatment.
