OK, I played around with Auto Add using a separate Dropbox folder and it appears to indeed be a very simple solution. As dwnathny points out, one can use a separate, "temporary" library while preparing the book, then switch back to the main library, and copy the new ebook into the auto add folder.
However, the current version of Calibre on Ubuntu 11.10 does not include this feature. Hopefully, the imminent 12.04 will have a sufficiently new version...
Thanks for all the great ideas, folks!
