I'm trying to grab the metadata BEFORE the eBook is imported - that's where exiftool comes into play.

I've been playing with this a bit - there' must be LOTS of code to make this as robust as it is; in my own small collection (~1100 ebooks) I found SIX different tags used for "title". And I found commercial eBooks from a single publisher for a single author with three different spellings for the "creator" tags . . . .

Thanks again for the help!
