Find duplicates just finds the duplicates. Then you have to perform an action on 1/2 of them (either merge or delete). Good project while you are on hold. Happened to me once resulting in over 1000 duplicates.
Currently combining a couple of libraries (created before Virtual was available or before I understood how it worked). Time consuming but more productive than doodling while on hold.
Also, it bears to consider checking each book before deletion. On one of these libraries, I discovered a bunch of books that still had DRM - when BooksOnTheKnob had lots of freebees. Some of them I am getting resurrected on Amazon so that I can reload into Calibre, but some I'm just out of luck. Plus some I am no longer interested in.
No guilt- these were free.
