I gave it one more try and downloaded the latest zip by Dave_S and put the unzipped file on my SD card. I opened the file and the green light flickered for about 5 seconds, then nothing. The "Recent files" directly still listed my recently opened files on the SD and the HD. I turned the PP off and back on again and checked and the "Recent files" folder still listed my recently opened books with the one difference that the book on my HD now was reset to the first page but not the one on the SD. That leads me to the conclusion that the book on the SD (showing /root/abook/) is not touched at all by the Linux command rm -rf /mnt/crengine/.cache/*. Since the book on the HD was at least affected to a certain extent, I conclude that the path is at least correct (at least for me) for the book on the HD.
I know nothing about Linux commands but I fiddled enough yesterday to delete everything on my SD and HD by changing /mnt/ to /root/abook/ and working the command line back bit by bit but leaving the * in. So I do know my PP can be manipulated and is responsive.
But I was also puzzled by the fact that I was unable to just delete the .cache folder or crengine folder. I also tried Jotas' triple skin firmware once more since he had included a file called SoS_Reopen.sh that is to clear the cache as well and running that also did not make any difference at all.
I also tried deleting the contents of those two folders manually from the PC but that did not change the books listed in the "Recently read" folder either. And then I decided to delete the RecentlyRead.sys file and that's when I came up with

#!/bin/sh
rm -rf /root/abook/RecentlyRead.sys
rm -rf /home/RecentlyRead.sys

It works for me, with a reboot after running the file. I had hoped rebooting would not be necessary because you have to re-enter the date but this is what works for me.
I suspect there are slight differences in different PPs from Jinke itself, maybe they made changes to different production lots, that would take a lot of comparing between every PP ever sold and I do not know if every PP out there has the same path for files on the SD, all I know is that I have /root/abook/ showing when opening a book on the SD card (book in subdirectory or root) and then opening the About page in coolreader...
