Would it be possible to add the media type to the work duplicates page?

The reason I ask is that although I can often guess whether a multiple is a print edition and an ebook edition, it's not always possible to tell especially when the publisher publishes both media types. Baen is a case in point. Besides, in certain cases I am aware that my edition doesn't always match how it's been logged (old pre-ISBN books were difficult to search and find the correct edition).

It would be helpful to see at a glance which of the multiple is the print edition so it can be weeded out and either disposed of or put in storage. I am aware that I can click through, but when I've got rising on 300 duplicates and as many to add, then it gets extremely time-consuming.

This would be helpful to me, too, as I've purchased a number of books I've previously owned in paperback.

A rather tiny pony I would be happy to stable.
