The last thing I need is another column to eat up screen real estate, especially when it shouldn't be necessary. Besides, all I've been having to do to get the title, author, comments, etc. fields populated is put in the ISBN. Not having a place to do that anymore is going to be a royal hurt in the donkey. The vast majority of my ebooks are scanned to image only PDFs from paperbooks so there is no way calibre can extract any info from the book itself. Before, all I had to do was ID the newly scanned book by ISBN, then, when entering it into calibre, just copy and paste it into the ISBN box and let calibre do its thing. Now, I'll have to manually enter all fields so they will match the individual book (many, if not most, paperbooks have many different printings). For me, losing the ISBN box is a huge step backwards.
