Easily. See the attached example using the "Media File Importer" plugin, which was designed to do exactly what you are asking for any file types, including images, mp3, etc. using Dynamic Variables.


Obviously, you will need to run Bulk Metadata Edit to "set covers from file", etc., as well as to Embed Metadata back into the book files themselves.
