I know I messed around trying formats, though - .csv was one possibility, but I can't remember whether it works. I hadn't a clue what I was doing, which makes it harder to recall - but I think there were a couple of very similar-sounding formats, one of which worked and the other didn't. Also, I know I tried the different kaddressbook import formats, by exporting to a .csv file and importing list, and by exporting to a vcard. It may be that one that worked, because I also use GnomeCard, and I think that used vcard as an import.
Sorry for rambling on - just thinking aloud and hoping that something here gets you on the right lines. Not terribly helpful, I'm afraid, except to say that importing does work, once you find the best format for compatibility.
