But then you lose all the tags and book metadata, unless the person importing it has the "read from file" option checked, which is something I always recommend turning off because of the junk generally in files. So the person importing would have to alternate turning it on and off, which will never work.
The timestamp is not the one inside the EPUB - when you save to disk from Calibre the separate opf file has the likes of this in it:
<meta content="2010-11-22T15:29:14+00:00" name="calibre:timestamp"/>
A simple tweak giving the option to ignore the calibre timestamp when adding files would do the trick - even better would be the ability to control what values are imported (so for example your "#read" column doesn't get stuffed with values from the person who gave you the book) but I would settle for just allowing me to easily see what books I have just added to my library, regardless of where they came from
