Yup, that's basically what I did: Alt-I, tab, tab, Ctrl-C, shift-Tab, shift-Tab, End, comma, Ctrl-V, Alt-N

Went through my library of ~700 books this way, sometimes doing this, sometimes Alt-R, Alt-R, Enter (to reject), sometimes just Alt-I, delete (when my local data was a superset of the downloaded stuff). With some instrumental music running in the background, it was practically a Zen state.

Having to do this manually also helped me reject some pretty significant mistakes in the downloaded metadata - data of wrong book with somewhat similar title, sometimes even wrong author - so I guess even with such a merging feature I can't just let it do things automatically. (Though I wonder if my older version was to blame - I did these a while before discovering I was a few years out of date, so perhaps there's better algorithms in current versions.)
