Here's a recent purchase's metadata.opf as shown by calibre's editor: Spoiler:
About the only human meaningful part of this is the title (with Amazon's habit of stuffing the series into the title) and the author. Strangely, that's what showed in the details pane. calibre can't add what isn't present. Last edited by DNSB; 04-27-2020 at 07:52 PM. |

The 27 April 20 is for the year 2020 i do believe
I'm not sure where the writing came from, It just started after the last Calibre update. |

Did you add the same file? Did you add/update an any plugins between the two adds Did you get the Duplicate book warning on the second add? I was hoping jhowell (resident Amazon/Kindle guru) might know where the odd 'text' in Comments came from. BR |

Perhaps he is planning on adding the book on the 30th?

I had nothing better to do and The Complete Robot Empire did offer a free sample so I downloaded it.
I found it rather amusing that the "This is where I have to type some letters to fulfil the requirement to type" description is in the book in the <dc:description>. See the metadata from calibre's editor opening the azw3 file. So it appears that toolman got exactly the metadata in the book, nothing more, nothing less. Spoiler:
Nothing to see here, move along folks. |

As an experiment, take one of the books with bad metadata after the import. Then populate it with something. It doesn't matter what, just set it to something different than what it was imported with. Then do a "Save to disk". That will create a copy of the book with the updated metadata. Then, delete the book in the library and add the save-to-disk copy. What does the metadata look like? Is it what you entered? |
