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,

The IL plugin can update the database, this from the first post

Did you browse the Import List thread. I seem to remember the matter of matching on ID (i.e. the integer calibre assigns, not the UUID) came up a while back, can't recall the outcome. Other possibilities are ISBN and or ASIN. I suggest you post something specific in the IL thread - that will get the attention of davidfor, who has taken over its maintenance.
But it's unlikely you'll find a
one-slick-click-and-it's-done solution. Fixing messy libraries mostly gets done progressively, rather than in one fell swoop.
