I have tried allt the options I can find, and have searched the calibre manual, but I can't find anything about APPEND. Please advise.

Yes, but I can't find a way to append data, only replace. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,

Yes, to a 'working' Library. Use Copy To Library (right click ), not import. All the metadata will be used

Append is a mode on a pulldown on the right of Bulk S&R
