Calibre does not have a full spreadsheet with all the formatting of column features that users would holler for.
Open/Libre Office and excel are in common use so why bloat calibre for the .0001% that can't figure how to use a spreadsheet with a CSV file with one of those.
CSV has been an available input for:
Supercalc
Multiplan
123
Quatro (pro)
Excel
Star Office (and derivatives)
those are the spreadsheet I remember. There were more.

Then there were all the Database programs that contained report generators .

Since most of us have a portable reading device, making the E-book version of the catalog seems to be more logical (and lighter) than a stack of paper.
my 2cents
