Yeah, good news is that the database of information is still there, and it's still easy to read if you know what you are looking at.

There is now a 'books.db' file which is a SQLite3 DB. This contains all the information on the books that are on the device, collections, current positions and so on.

H:\Sony_Reader\database\books.db
H:\Sony_Reader\database\media\books\*

Rather interesting, though. The SQLite DB offers better speed, and it should be fairly straight-forward to talk to it from a Calibre plugin (seeing that the Kobo also uses a SQLite DB). Although it will definitely have to be done basically from scratch.

Syncing of collections from tags should be fairly easy, as would be auto-generating thumbs like before.
