I already using Calibre for my digital library, and I'm exploring using it for cataloging my physical books. I use Calibre in conjunction with BookFusion (which is only focused on digital media), so I'd like to be able to easly create an "empty" EPub for each physical book that would embed the cover and whatever metadata is in Calibre. What I'm observing so far is that using the built-in Add Empty Book feature (with selecting EPub format) doesn't seem to allow for embedding anything into the empty file ("Embed Metadata" doesn't do anything).
Has anyone found a way to do the above (where you end up with a simple EPub containing the Cover and Metadata), or should I maybe request this as a feature request?
Edit: I should note that I don't mean exclusively EPub -- I may want to experiment with some of the other formats, so I really mean any of the ebook formats that normally support embedding cover and metadata (so not txt files, of course). And it is also occurring to me that what I'm probably actually needing is a way to easily create a "mini" EPub, AZW3, etc that is a complete ebook file (though still empty), as that (in theory) should then support the Embed Metadata feature actually working. I think maybe the reason the "empty" EPub, etc doesn't support the Embed Metadata is that it is not enough of a complete EPub (or other format) for the Embed Metadata plugin to add anything to (though that is just my hunch).
Thank you in advance for any assistance!
