Your very elegant solutions for fixing things up would be beyond quite a few new users or just basic out-of-the box type users. So maybe a very basic section on the best way to go about merging existing eBook collections in Calibre could be considered for inclusion?

Glossary inclusions: tags, identifiers, format types, recipe, plugin

The term "recipe" really through me for a minute, though now I use them, I was a little overwhelmed the first time I ventured into that section of Calibre.
