How to Consolidate Duplicate Books?
Because of the way I added them, some books are showing up as different books even though they are the same. I know that you get same books under one book entry by adding the e-books to a specific book entry in Calibre. But when you already have duplicate book entries for duplicate books, is there a way to consolidate the duplicates into one entry in Calibre?

You can also select several entries in calibre and merge the entries.

It's one of the dropdown menu options.
