From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I honestly don't know that there is one. What OP is looking for is effectively an AI librarian... this is literally a full-time job for some people. I'm sure OP doesn't have quite that many books, but the point remains
How many ebooks are you talking about (millions)? Is there just a question of finding duplicated files? That's easy with a shell script. For metadata, see if the books already have it since a lot do. After that, you can use fairly crude hacks as an initial pass at matching library records. There's code like that around already, try some web searches, maybe code4lib (library related programming) if that is still around. I saw your earlier comment before you deleted it and it was perfectly fine.
