The problem with looking up ebooks based on ISBN is that only 13 out of 1000 ebooks in my Fictonwise csv file actually have ISBNs.

That's why looking at the metadata and extracting the info would be the way to go for most ebooks.

I would have to manually enter in the book title and hope that either Librarything or Groqit could find it at Amazon.

My pbook collection is rapidly dwindling so cataloging that is not top priority.
