Is there some way to publish a list of everything in a given calibre library (or some subset of one), say, to an ePub file? I don't see such a feature or plugin for doing this, or even export to csv or something like that.

I think it should be relatively straightforward to export from sqlite db and do a mail merge (or, in theory, install ODBC driver for sqlite, and MS Word can use that), but wondered if I was missing something built-in.

Of course it would be more work to include thumbnails in the document, which would be desirable.

And the resultant document could be very large (my library has about 3500 titles).

Still, it seems like it would be a nice way to browse, apart from running calibre itself.

[Fun fact: this year's Pages 12.1 restored mail merge, missing since the 2013 release!]
