If you want the actual modified date of the epub in the calibre library, create a custom column "built from other columns" using the template
Code:
{:'select(formats_modtimes('yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss'), 'EPUB')'}
Note that the formats_modtimes() function must actually read the disk to get the times, which can have an effect on calibre performance.

Sounds useful from what you've described. I wonder if I've jumped in at rather the deep end of the plugin world. I hope you don't live to regret that offer
NB:The method is only available in device drivers, which can be plugins.
