Hi all,

I have just started taming my ebook collection, and after adding many many books to calibre, i am now going over all the books and manually fixing those with no metadata. Generally its a speller/missing apostrophe causing it but sometimes it can be more stubborn.

First thing: When i get it to fetch metadata (often after giving it a isbn) it will change the title to include the series in brackets or following a colon. Is there any way to either prevent this or go through all entries and then remove the extra bit?

I find the easiest way to get all data on a book is to google (or amazon/isbndb) the isbn and then let calibre run with that to get all the info on the book. To emphasise - this is for books that calibre wouldn't do natively based on bad title/author/something.

Thanks!
