This discussion may be of interest; sadly, it isn't there yet.
No mention of using metadata.calibre, though.

There are in fact PDFs, but everything is in a Calibre maintained database on my main machine, and sent to my Android tablet from Calibre via USB.
By preference, I get ePub. But I have a fair number of Mobi files, and a batch of stuff only available in PDF. One reason for using FBReaderJ is that it can display all three, and I mostly don't have to care what format a book is in..
I don't. But getting the setup to where it can do the job is a necessary first step.

OK, so that is not as good as it could be. But if all the books are properly cataloged in metadata.calibre, I would connect via USB, tag all books on the device, the delete them from Device View. Check that nothing miscellaneous is left on the device, and unplug+reconnect as a CC device. Send all tagged books.
Alternatively, have CC analyze the books, but be warned that it may take a lot longer, plus PDFs may not get matched, depending. (Also, plugboard use may cause mismatches.) On the plus side, it only costs AFK time, and apps will still see the same files so you save place/annotations info.
Also, one nice thing about CC is that you don't have to worry about format, AND you can use different apps for formats. You can use the best viewer for each format, and CC will handle it all.
