I just went by your nfo file that said "I also strip IDs, comments and
tags" The Ids: box is where Calibre lists ISBN when editing metedata.
My comments on what Calibre could restore, if wanted, were for those
who do use Calibre like Hawk who objected to the title changes.

Personally I use an android tablet and Mantano reader. Calibre acts as
a server on my home network so I can directly access my entire Calibre
library and sort in any manner I choose from newest, title, author,
language, publisher, rating, searches, series or tags.

No reason not to. Sharing is what makes these groups work.
