You guys are thinking like programmers, not users.

From a user's perspective (a nonprogrammer-user), you highlight a couple of book titles, you right-click, and on that primary context menu, you look for a way to merge two files into one entry. "Similar books" is more intuitive than "edit metadata," but an entry directly in the primary context menu makes the most sense to me. It's on a similar level to save, send, convert, etc.

I wasn't talking about the top menu (button) bar at all.

In any case, this is a secondary nitpick. My initial point was, why when adding similar titles (e.g.., identical titles in different formats) can't we have a dialogue box that gives us a choice of whether to merge into one entry or keep in separate entries?
