Yes, I had looked at that, but it requires me to know Calibre's id for a previously imported book, which admittedly, I can get from
calibredb list. Since I know which files I've changed, I could use that to selectively update Calibre.
Unfortunately, what
calibredb add_format does not do is update the Calibre metadata for the existing entry. It also does not generated a new cover thumbnail from the book.
I suppose I could just use the id and remove any books before updating them, and then add them one-by-one, but then the Calibre id will keep changing, which will probably be hard on anyone trying to read the book or keep things in sync.
Any other suggestions?
