@Forkbeard: bad news and good news.
The bad news is that all of the original issues with letting CC edit metadata are still there, plus the ones that come from the cloud connection. I am not going down this road.
The good news is that Kovid has been working for months on a read/write interface to the calibre content server, providing a much more calibre-like user experience. This new interface should let you edit book metadata to your heart's content without fear of DB corruption, the consistency problems that come with delayed update, or the performance problems that would come with a device-driver implementation. Once updated via the content server you could either download the book/metadata from the content server or later connect as a wireless device to update what is in CC.
To my knowledge Kovid doesn't have a planned release date for the new content server. He is actively working on it and has said that it will be in "calibre version 3", so I suspect that we won't wait years.
