Hmm I can't really scrap it due to some particular reasons. I will try and reestructure the dump folder in a way I know where to look for newer ebooks (maybe create folders by date and add ebooks to them according to the date they were added).
So, my only way of adding the books I recently put in the ebook dump folder would be to search everything again (since I cannot pinpoint where and which ebooks I added), right? If I do that, what happens with the ebooks already in my library - will duplicates appear or will Calibre recognize previously added ebooks that are still in the library and avoid re-adding them?
PS.: I have no idea why I get a huge white space under my posts. Firefox issue?

I use firefox and I don't see any huge white space under any posts, including yours. Trying running firefox barebones -
Help->Restart with addons disabled. My guess is that its an ad blocker or something.
You could sort your dump folder by date created. This should be the date the file was created in the folder, you may have to get your file manager to display date created.
If you create a new library and add everything that's in your dump file to it, then you might be able to use the inter-library feature of the Find Duplicate plugin - you would discard the duplicates, and deal with the others as you saw fit.
Suggest in future you download books into folder Folder A. Then copy books from Folder A to Folder B which calibre uses as its Auto Add folder, then move the books to your ebook dump file. A simple batch/script file can do the copying from A to B and moving from A to your ebook dump file. Which is a long-winded way of saying what
