Kobo uses sqlite database to store books

Please notice, there are several devices called kobo.
The very first one - non-touch, and Kobo Touch

I do not own Kobo and I am not going to in a foreseeable future(*), so I do not pay close attention. I just noticed many people complaining about problems with the internal sqlite database used for storing books (or possibly just metadata and/or covers) on Kobo.
You see, there is nothing wrong with the sqlite database as such, it is a fine database for things that need to be put into database, but I am much happier when my device stores books and metadata in regular files. When something gets screwed up, you just delete one faulty file, the rest are perfectly usable.
Sorry, that space limitation was for Nook tablet. Out of 16GB memory, 15GB were reserved for purchased content and 1GB for user content. You can go to the store and request that they repartition the space for you (or so I heard).
(*) I am very happy PocketBook user and if I buy a new reader it will be most probably PocketBook. I am too spoiled by all those configuration possibilities (that I haven't mentioned in my post, such as ability to display up to
50 books per library page on my PB360). I have way too much know-how in configuration and customization of PocketBook devices. You see, I am a tinkerer. I want to set up everything *exactly* the way I like it. And I am very wary of devices that "call home" regularly - such as Kindle and Kobo.
