Is that possible?
I'm using calibre for things other than books, one of which is a list of programs I have, that would benefit from a database like interface.

So have an excel file, can convert to txt etc if needed, can I get calibre to add empty books based off Cell names or something?

Sidenote:
Would be cool if there were some plugins, that were designed to make calibre specific for different purposes for example, a home Inventory DB - would just need to get rid of any references to Authors and books, and maybe a little back end work.
home Inventory
Game List
Recipes
Photo/Image
Loads of things would be possible - and to have the same program do all of them would be nice.
