How about something like this as a compromise solution. If all user-selected fields (in Prefs, fields user wants to download metadata to) are empty in that set of user-selected books for the grab, overwrite quietly. If not, refer to user choices of what to overwrite quietly in Prefs, in a new list or new checkbox in old list, set by user. If all fields are chosen to overwrite quietly, then overwrite quietly. If not, confirm first.

Edit: But I'd still prefer not to see those confirmation dialogs at all. If I do something stupid, oh well, I'll have to live with it.
