I have tried and when I compared what I had with what the device created, it wasn't quite right. Plus, it is a moving target. Kobo do change the database and exactly how the books are defined over time. Overall, it isn't worth it. Someone else has tried, and gave up fairly quickly.

You are not chicken, you don't have enough information. And you probably don't have telepathic connection to Kobo programmers.
I am grateful that Calibre works with Kobo. Without Calibre Kobo would not be as convenient to use.
I used to avoid using Calibre, because it would sometimes give me unpredictable results, like embedding fonts on one computer and not on the other with exactly same settings. But so far I am very impressed on how Kobo plugins deal with Kobo devices.
I still long for file manager though.
