Hi
It does query the database obviously and during a send it may update the database if you have collections/metadata being sent automatically.
In my experience the original and wifi Kobo's were solid (but not for everyone else). I do a lot of stuff to my development devices and the database never became corrupt. However my KTouch is a different story. Deleting a book using Calibre was reliably corrupting the database with the exact same setup that worked for the other devices.
Apparently the KTouch has a much more specific requirement for voltage and the USB extension cable I was using caused the issue. I have not had the issue since I connected directly to the USB card with the delivered cable.
I had thought that the earlier issues were related to poorly formatted/corrupt epubs but now it seems that the connection may have been a factor too.
