Not that I know of.

I don't know if metadata.calibre is the right place for it (I see it uses a straight list of books so I don't know if you could add a new key without messing up anything that reads it. That might not be many programs - it would break my 1.3.3 version, but not my next one if I ever get it done  )

I am leery about creating another file. There was a lot of controversy the first time. However, it is probable that using 'uuid.calibre' is the right way to go, because having a separate file would help avoid UUID reassignment if metadata.calibre was corrupted, and would avoid breaking programs that read metadata.calibre.

If a uuid was saved, it might need a name too, although that might not be needed in my case (I would just present settings based on which Kindle was attached and save according to uuid and library uuid).

I think that would be the problem of the GUI tool. When it encounters a new UUID, it would ask the user what name it should use for that device, then store that name along with the UUID. I don't want the device code to ask that question, because the *vast* majority of users won't care.
