Unfortunately, the first section of the eReader file containing indexes to all other interesting sections, including the metadata section and the section used an an xor table
is encrypted. So a metadata reader for encrypted PDB files would still need the name and number key to the file, and would need, in a small way, to de-drm the file. I think this would be sufficient to make it a circumvention tool according to the DMCA, and so couldn't be an official part of Calibre.
I don't currently see a way that I can get this to work so long as Metadata is read before the file type plugins are called.
But I'm hoping that those more familiar with Calibre do see a way around this.
