I understand there is a way to merge them, so it will do some kind of auto check for existing matches. I am not talking about the "duplicate addon". Or will I still need to do a duplicate search afterwards?

I have searched the forum for this topic but replies seem older and I would prefer the most recent solutions as Calibre is famous for their frequent updates, so they are able to meet our wonderful needs. I just want to proceed using the most time-efficient process ... one that will also keep the integrity of books in mind & not have me sitting at my computer for years at a time - I have about 3500 books to merge into my MAIN library.

Any help would be very appreciated.

cheers to my Calibre friends. :-)
Simple if both Libraries are on the same computer.

Use the Library Icon to switch (create/switch:Use existing if not on thequick switch list) to the SOURCE Library


Select a block of books: Right click: Copy to Library <Main> (option: delete after copy)


That is it. This will honor your (duplicate title) Merge Preference
