I may be misunderstanding, but it seems to me that Ambermonk is asking for the ability to retrieve only the book metadata from the Fire tablet for cataloging in calibre, not the book contents.

It is potentially possible to implement this. KFX books on the Fire contain the same set of files as on an e-ink Kindle, just with different names and folder arrangement.

I have no interest in using or developing such a feature myself. I just wanted to clear up a possible misunderstanding.
