I'd love to, but I've never written a plugin or device driver for Calibre before, and I'm also pretty new to Python (but have quite a bit of development experience in other languages), so I'd appreciate any pointers people can throw my way.

Perhaps somebody would like to cooperate? I think I can fairly easily contribute the code required to access the Aldiko library database file, and it'll go quicker if somebody could point me to the correct 'code framework' that this would need to fit in for a Calibre device driver.

[edit] OK, did some tests locally with accessing the Aldiko database file, and as I thought it's pretty trivial to work with. In order to integrate this all nicely in a generic way into Calibre however is something I'm going to need a lot of pointers and help with. If there is any interested from the developers for this, please contact me.
