100 books storage format?

Hi

I am currently working on an updated driver for Calibre to better support the Kobo. Currently it can list all the books on the device both the 100 free shortcover books and the ePub and PDFS that you load on manually.

I plan to add the ability to delete and I would like to add the ability to export/view the books.

Does anyone know what format they are in the database (FormatedPage in the shotcover_page table)? I am assuming that they are encoded but with what and what is the format.

Tim

I would think it's the same as a DRM'd epub just pulled apart and stored in the database as sections. I can't confirm this yet but that was my first idea.
