Given the above I am curious as to how the Find Duplicates plugin performs its binary compare? Does it discard cover, metadata and bookmarks from files before comparing? Maybe someone can shed light on this.

A binary compare is just that a binary compare. But you can do a similar compare based on the metadata.
