The thing is, what are you hoping to get out of it? If you just need a list, a spreadsheet is faster and simple. If you want metadata, then empty books in Calibre fit the bill, IMHO. All that stuff populates nicely.
I too have my Pbooks in LibraryThing. But I did just do a test where I exported my LT list, and copied 5 ISBNs from the top. I chose to Add by ISBN in calibre and it added the books as empty with just the metadata.
