You would still be required to delete the epub from the library. I don't know how fragile the process would be.
Already verified I don't need DeDRM to import the metadata.

I guess what I'm bothered by is that I can save the book to disk and then import it but I can't import it in one step.

Also, importing might not even be necessary because the metadata is already in the device view. I just want to make an empty book from that metadata.
