The plugin doesnot use any conversion. It is due to calibre itself. I think most of the users don't use the title field to be changed by metadata.
In the metadata dialog you can also change the capitalization, right click the the title field, and choos the capitalization menu. I think you can do the same with bulk. I don't know where in Calibre you can cahnge the default settings.

I think it would be very useful to also have the BOL link there, as I sometimes use this to verify the search results, when very similar books have been published.
Till now i did not use any special identifier. You gave me a hint, and I will implement it in the next update.

You could then return that existing entry.
It isnot very difficult to capitalize each word, but I am not aware of function that does the right capitalization for german p.e.
But I give a try in the next update , capitalize each word, except 'der'.
that will give: "E-books der Verlagsgruppe Random House Gmbh".
