Calibre x Apple iBooks/Books interfacing / plugin

Hey Guys,

First of all I am sorry if that is a repeated issue, I have searched in the forum on the subject but did not find any related thread.

I am writing some python code to interface with apple's proprietary MacOS iBooks/Books applications (by editing the sqlite and plist databases), that replaces iTunes to manage ebooks.

So far I am able to add new ebooks, collections and series and update their metadata information as well. I already know how to delete and list from the catalog -- soon to be implemented as well.

A foreseeable goal would be to package it as a calibre plugin and give users back the ability to sync Calibre with ios devices through Apple iBooks/Books.

Does that make sense? What would be the best approach? I have started reading the docs on plugin development and calibre API, I am still trying to figure it out.

best regards
