That was not obvious from the documentation, but I think you just made my day.

Of course, the first entry I tried loading is missing a bunch of fields (the product page was missing, but I still have a "this product no longer available" response page). Second one populated everything as expected, though!

25 seconds per entry (connecting directly) down to ~6-7! Thank you! That reduces an 42+ hour job to 14 hours. I could conceivably have this entire thing uploaded by... the time I start work tomorrow. Right.

I don't suppose 'calibredb add' can take "-f comments:'comment' -f publisher:'publisher' -f '#custom:value'" as well, so I can do it all in one pass?

THANK YOU. Even if I can't do the entire thing in a single call, getting it down to 'add title' and one 'set remaining metadata' call is a big improvement.
