Eowyn, if you did manage to do this you'd make a lot of people very happy - not just those who'd prefer something that worked with the file structure directly, but also those who like Calibre the way it is - because when we get threads like these we could simply point people at your software.

However, I hear what you're saying about the additional effort involved between something that works for you and something that can be released. I remember writing some shareware a while back that took me 3 months to get it to do what I needed. Then another 6 months of beta testing with about a dozen people to get a version that was polished enough to release.
