Long story short, my Calibre library was hosed. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but something must have happened to the metadata.db because my library is now empty even though all of the files are still where they are supposed to be. I've resorted to creating a new library and re-adding all of my books. I was hoping that, since the opf, json, and cover files are all still in the subfolders with the ebook files, that Calibre would be able to read that data when re-adding the books. That doesn't seem to be the case, however. I tried adding books using the folder and subfolder option, and I clicked yes on the option to have Calibre treat all files in the same folder as the same book. All of my books appear to get added, but none of the metadata and/or covers are included. Am I missing something, or is it just not possible to include that data when adding books?
