That's a lot of space to store a book title, path, current page, some reading stats, and some metadata... so what else are they bogging the Db down with? If it's annotations or the like, reference them by storing a path and filename and dump them into their own text files already.
These are portable devices, they should be lean and mean and so should the databases.

Quite a bit of the space is taken up by information on the chapters within a book.
