THANKS! I sincerely hope this solves the metadata issues, at least until the next time they screw something up.

Donation on the way. It was time for another one!

Hello All,

after 2 years of using Calibre, I made an account today just to post a big thank you for sorting this problem out. Build 0.8.40 works very well on about 20 books I tried it on.

Better than thanking with a post, send a donation.
