3. If #2 is not possible, is there a way in the "Add books" to have Calbire only add books that are not currently in Calibre?

Thanks,

1. azw (most azw's are infested with the dreaded drm so all you can do is store them)
2. not that i know of
3. during the add books process calibre'll ask if you want to add any dups
