We purchased a Kobo wifi a few weeks ago and in general it has been great. My major issue was the lack of ability to remove the I'm Reading list. From the threads, I am apparently not alone in this. More for fun than anything else i decided to use MSAccess to interface with the Kobo DB. I built a basic application that shows the books in the I'M Reading list and allows you to select one or more and remove them. Initially I tried to link to the tables but issues with indexing caused problems so I switched to a Pass-Through SQL approach. I realize that Calibre will be fixing this (may already be done in the latest version) but I'll offer my DB in case anyone wants to play with it. It is not fancy and I have not added a bunch of error catching code but so far it has worked well for me but I do not guarantee there will not be problems - you will be accessing the Kobo DB from an external application! Instructions and the db can be downloaded from
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B21...ZWE5NThj&hl=en . It requires the ODBC driver install and is for Access 2007 or 2010 only. If interested and you have experience with Access ( and VBA) feel free to play with it.
