Bug Description
Hi, I have a problem while trying to download metadata from amazon, I was trying to direct calibre to the kindle ed of a book on amazon us website, but it would always find other versions (like an italian version) or even different books. I even tried deleting other parameters and leaving only the ASIN, but then I would get "error no matches found" after a couple seconds.
I'm pasting 5 different logs bellow, the 5th is the only one where calibre finds something, although it finds wrong books (or versions of the book.). Calibre was supposed to find this: http://
Also, I tried turning off my firewall and antivirus just in case they were interfering, but the results were the same.

Comments :
They say Black Dow's killed more men than winter, and clawed his way to the throne of the North up a hill of skulls. The King of the Union, ever a jealous neighbor, is not about to stand smiling by while he claws his way any higher. The orders have been given and the armies are toiling through the northern mud. Thousands of men are converging on a forgotten ring of stones, on a worthless hill, in an unimportant valley, and they've brought a lot of sharpened metal with them.
THE HEROES
For glory, for victory, for staying alive.

Title : The Great Leveller: Best Served Cold, the Heroes and Red Country

Comments :
Collected together for the first time, here are the three hard-hitting standalone novels set in the world of Joe Abercrombie's bestselling FIRST LAW trilogy.
BEST SERVED COLD: War may be hell but for Monza Murcatto, the Snake of Talins, the most feared and famous mercenary in Duke Orso's employ, it's a damn good way of making money too. Her victories have made her popular - a shade too popular for her employer's taste. Betrayed, thrown down a mountain and left for dead, Murcatto's reward is a broken body and a burning hunger for vengeance. Whatever the cost, seven men must die.
THE HEROES: Over three bloody days of battle, the fate of the North will be decided. But with both sides riddled by intrigues, follies, feuds and petty jealousies, it is unlikely to be the noblest hearts, or even the strongest arms that prevail. Three men. One battle. No Heroes.
RED COUNTRY: Shy South hoped to bury her bloody past and ride away smiling, but she'll have to sharpen up some bad old ways to get her family back, and she's not a woman to flinch from what needs doing. She sets off in pursuit off her family's killers with only a pair of oxen and her cowardly old stepfather Lamb for company. But it turns out Lamb's buried a bloody past of his own, and out in the lawless Far Country, the past never stays buried.

This is how the amazon.com server works currently. Amazon does not
return Kindle editions of that book in the search results unless you are
logged in. Try it for yourself, log out of amazon (or better use the
private browsing mode) in your browser then search for B004JHY6OG, you
will get no results. Log back in and repeat the search and you will get
the Kindle edition.
Remove the ASIN from the metadata and change the title to "The Heroes"
and you will get results. The title "The Heroes: A First Law Novel" is
only found in the Kindle edition, so it again will not work.
I have no clue why the amazon server is behaving this way, but there is
nothing calibre can do to make up for it's misbehavior. You can try
reporting the misbehavior to amazon, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
