BTW you can exploit Send To to create a book from almost any file type.

Say you have Gone with Wind - Margaret Mitchell.avi and Gone with Wind - Margaret Mitchell.epub We know that can create the entry in your library by dropping the epub onto the book list, but then you have to use the Add file to selected books to get the movie into the book folder - which a bit of a PITA.

However, if you add the movie via Send to then it will create the entry in your library with the avi in the book folder, then you drop the epub into Book Details, then use the Set metadata from... on the EPUB and your done. Be handy to have Set metadata... available when you right click on the EPUB in Book details. It would avoid having going into Edit Metadata, which is my calibre bête noire.

I say some file types, because it doesn't work on some .exe's
