Thanks for the advice - I guess the reason I didn't think of an Interface Action plugin was that I didn't realize it could create a brand new book record. I'll go ahead and give that a shot using the examples user_none mentioned.

You mention the default strftime function doesn't handle dates before 1900 - can I infer that Calibre's no longer using that default? It seemed to handle dates before 1900 just fine when I tested it aside from the offset issue, which I'll use as_utc for. I'm back at my computer now, so have other code to use for a reference as well.
