When calibre (version 0.9.12) produced the message "could not read metadata", I clicked OK, and the gui returned to showing the library, but none of the files had been added to it. However, the problem is solved, I opened the files in vim and rewrote them, and calibre accepted the rewritten files without comment.

And thank you very much for writing calibre.
