Thanks for the responses.

I couldn't get the metadata file to appear in the proper format.

More fundamentally, Calibre seems to only produce a single (opf) for each record. So there is no way to move a batch of citations to Endnote.

This shouldn't be difficult to implement. All Calibre needs is an option to save a single text list of the books in the following tagged format (easier than xml and opf, i'd imagine):

EX:

%0 Book
%A Roger King
%T Governing Universities Globally: Organizations, Regulation and Rankings
%D 2009
%I Edward Elgar Publishing
%P 235
%@ 1847207391

Calibre's Tags can be put in Keywords and Summaries can be put in Notes.

(This link leads to a doc outlining some of this tagged format):

or

I've placed a ticket for this enhancement and I hope that it's implemented. I firmly believe that this would greatly increase the number of Calibre users.
