An Auto-ISBN import from text (perhaps not picture) based eBooks could work well, and really make the calibre meta-data lookup very effective.

An option to only, invoke the isbn lookup routine if a title/author match is not found may work well and increase efficiency.

I find that sub-titles and minor inconsistancies at the end of the title, fail to match. Even just having a year in brackets at the end of the title, will fail to match a well known book. So this would definately help the process.

As long as it's parameter based, so it can be switched off, then the user can decide if to take the hit on performance, even allowing to specify how many pages deep to search would help, I'd say up to 5 deep would get most ISBN's.
