Actually, the metadata is coming from the .metadata.calibre file on the device. The sony database doesn't contain tags.

Yes, calibre can read it, it is possible... but I don't think anyone actually wrote any sort of functionality to do so.

You are right, it is possible to import metadata from the .metadata.calibre file and therefore the associated device record, and you are right, no one has written that code.
One could convert the .metadata.calibre file into into individual .opf files for each known book on the device. These opf files could be combined with the book files (one per directory), permitting import of the book with the calibre metadata at the time the book was stored using existing calibre add books methods. Sounds like an opportunity for someone to develop a "related tool".
