Can't?, or doesn't because that is the way it is implemented? In theory, couldn't Calibre (or the plugin), insert/update everything in the DB when a new book is added. May be a lot more work (a possible understatement), but since the database is public, the epub and kepub formats are understood, ... it should be possible?
And I do realize it is easy for me to say as I am not doing it, and have no detailed knowledge of the code.
