Short version: Kindle/Amazon imports are now locked and can't be manually edited.

 

Even though they are frequently wildly wrong, nor do they account for all the special cases and data normalization that GR librarians have spent years doing. This on top of the recent revelation that Amazon imports also undoes librarian edits where data clashes.

 

Just ugh.
