My sister just got a Kindle, and Calibre, and has sent me some of her share-able books. She sent me the complete directory with the metadata and cover art. What is the best way to get this into my Calibre library? I know I could just import the individual mobi file, but if I want to keep the cover art and such, is there a way to add the whole directory?

Also, what about nested ones where she has, for example, five books from one author (so the folder is called Authorname and you open it up and there are five folders inside it, each containing one complete book with cover, metadata etc). What is the best way to add those?
