Metadata: Book Covers
Been using Calibre for about 6 months now. Currently using 5.38.0. Occasionally import some ePubs and then use the ‘Edit Metadata’ function for metadata and covers. Use to get a selection of cover choices from Amazon, Open Library and Kobo Books. Lately (say past two months) Kobo Books never finds any covers. Just me or is there some setting that I’m missing?

If you look at message #121 in the KoboBooks plugin thread, there is a test version of the plugin which allows connecting to Kobo to fetch metadata.

Please read what I wrote: Kobo Books not Kobo Utilities. The Kobo Books plugin is used for downloading metadata from Kobo's site. The version in the message I referenced is not a release version so needs to be manually installed.

Good to hear it's working for you. Blasted companies that insist on updating their websites.
