I would like to see something like this as well.

I select books primarily by authors I enjoy, and then choose series, genre etc.
In ancient times (last year) I would go to library, scans shelves for books by authors I liked and take what I hadn't read. Then I would try and find an interesting looking book or two by a new to me author.

Now with an ebook reader and calibre (really the greatest thing since sliced bread) I can do this from home.
An author database that linked to calibre or was part of calibre would be monumental.

If it could show you what books you had, what books you were missing, and which of the missing books were available from calibre supported online stores, well that would be pure genious.

Just a wish mind you, not a priority in my mind.

calibre is already so feature packed that I am discovering new ones all the time.

calibre developers are world class programmers and my hope is that they will all achieve the recognition and monetary rewards they well deserve.
