Note this issue. If you did create a fake book, it doesn't seem wise to remove it. The way I added empty books above without a script, I didn't create a fake book for each empty book. Without a fake book format file along with the metadata for an empty book, calibre seems to ignore it when bulk sending to disk. So that empty book metadata is lost for that send/backup. Or did I miss a tweak or hidden feature somewhere?
