The Rural Design Collective made a system for creating an offline catalog which is described here:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/e-book-enlightenment/ch027_gen-collection-interface-gci/ Rebecca Malamud or Scotty Auble may be able to give you some guidance on how to set this up. It looks like you need to create a USB drive with the label LIB. If GetBooks sees this mounted on /media it will try and find the OPDS file so you can browse the collection on the drive and copy entries to the Journal. I haven't tried this myself, but that's how it is described in the chapter, which Rebecca contributed.
