I've found the database files, and I've been able to open it using the sqlite odbc driver. The database seems to be pretty large relatively speaking. As a test, I've used the 'copy book' tool in the calibre gui to compare sizes, and the db is just a little bigger than teh size of all the books. It looks like the 'data' table also holds the book as well. Is this the case?

I think it's very interesting if the actual book is stored in the database, then the source files would not be as necessary to keep (other than for backups). I'm also looking at the command line 'calibredb'. It seems that it's become functional in this release, and that it will do the db import as well. This would be very useful for preparing bulk conversion scripts, as well as timed feed downloads.

Can anyone confirm if the actual book is stored in the db?
