I do already, that doesn't help much. The best I could achieve is 1.5 files per second at start and slowing down.
Setting aside the import variant, and the "Write my own app" variant (which I can always fall back to), there is one idea left. May be I can create some virtual device that will pretend to be a reader with all these books on it?
I can create a standalone script that would present the metadata in any form. If only I could teach Calibre to take actual books (and, preferably, covers) from archives…
BTW, that format for text DBs is rather popular in ex-USSR. Government publications, advertisements, books often come in that form. Its support plus recent movement to ban Windows from many organizations( including schools) would make this addition to Calibre rather popular.
P.S. And instead of my own app I can use LibreOffice Base + set of scripts. At least I hope to. Calibre offers book conversions and ereader support, however, and other neat things.
