Hello,

I have a big collection of ebooks in many languages, but unfortunately I haven't been able to keep it as tidy as I wished, therefore now I have many folders with many ebooks, some of which have their title as filename, others have the isbn and still others have shortened title names.
I use Calibre and find it very useful, but when I tried to import the messy folders, it almost found no metadata, even for books where the first page had the little picture of the book followed by
Title: actual title
Author: actual author
ISBN: actual isbn
etc, the way it is often shown in online ebooks with pdf pages embedded in the html
Furthermore, being the books in many languages a Library of Congress/Wordcat metadata fetch would be great.
Can anyone recommend a good piece of software?
