I put a bunch of ePubs into iBooks and I want to add them to calibre, but in order to do that it seems I have to .zip them and then rename them to .epub (Calibre 3.22.1 gives an error if I drag the .epub package into Calibre) and that loses the cover and other metadata.

Is there a better way to do this? Any chance of Calibre being able to import the iBooks ePub bundle?

(I am not talking about the .ibooks format, these are normal non-DRM epub files. I tried searching, but kept stumbling across .ibooks questions).
