When I now run "Find Book Duplicates Similar Title and Author Matching", I get a long list with entries that are all double (over 10.000 books are double at this moment because I´ve imported some large databases and the names of the books were apparently not exactly the same for Calibre to merge them).

All results from the run are in couples but I want to delete only one of the two double entries out of the database. So I have a list of 20.000 books and I want to select of these only 10.000 books to delete.
Is there a possibility to select only 1 entry of all doubles and delete them all in one click?
But can you be sure that all of those matches are the same eBook? Why not do a binary compare and see how many are the exact same eBook. Then do a smilar compare. But don't just delete willy nilly if you can.
