2. Could not find the import feature in Calibre, where it is please?
3. How to batch import into Calibre the 300 front cover images stored in the old software?

any advice is welcome! :-)
Import is referred to as Add in calibre

Not sure that calibre can Add from XML, but text and HTML are fine.

Best way to find out which is best for you is to export a couple of books in each format from existing s/w, and then Add them to calibre.

Calibre can also be used via the command line
