Wrong covers and/or metadata after automatic import #59

Description

@bayang

Jelu uses an external tool to automatically fetch metadata and covers online.
It seems, however, that results are becoming more and more irrelevant see #56 and #57.
After more investigations, it appears that the tool hits google and gets heavily rate limited.
So, its usage is still fine for one-off imports (like fetching the metadata for one book at a time on daily usage) but for the initial bulk import of your existing history, from goodreads for example, some covers or metadata will be wrong, it is still more useful than importing everything by hand though).

I will try to find alternatives to this, but in the meantime we will have to stick to that.
If it really bothers you, you can still turn off automatic metadata fetching before starting your import (there is a checkbox on the UI).
