Starson, I hear you. That is interesting. Being a noob and not knowing that about ISBNs, I had made an assumption a few months ago that ISBNs might help. When I started using ISBNs more precisely, the incidents of losing title/author matches between library A and B seemed to become less frequent which seemed to support my wrong assumption about ISBNs. Taking ISBNs out of the equation, my problem has to be somehow related to title/author matches. I've always said yes to add dupes, and I've always (after trying it to see what the options did) kept automerge off, and in all cases the problem children were epub format, no other format existing in either library's matching titles' records.
