@BetterRed - Thanks for the suggestion but it did not seem to do what I am looking for - but perhaps I just do not understand its purpose/capabilities. It seemed that it wanted to match on author/title - not UUID - meaning that each line in the incoming CSV would need to be manually matched to the exiting book in Calibre - again a labor intensive effort I am trying to avoid (yes, I am lazy). Also, Once I did match the few test books I tried, it seemed that it would display the data, and perhaps re-export it for use in other applications, but I did not find a way to actually rename books and update metadata in the Calibre database. Did I miss something?

Thanks,
