Sadly, using the author in comparing when adding books would be not all that useful given how often the authors names are gibbled. As an example, how would you handle an author whose name is Henry Beam Piper best known as H. Beam Piper when the ebook creator has used H Beam Piper, H. Beam Piper, Henry B Piper, Henry B. Piper, H B Piper, HB Piper, H. B. Piper and H.B. Piper. This is one of reasons that I import books into an intake library where I edit the metadata, check for duplicates and so forth before moving to my main library.
