I completely miss whatever logic there would be for having data from each "split" in the
database, at all. They are accessed sequentially by the reading software and are indexed for random page access, already. I doubt very much that Adobe made a special reader program that uses Kobo's database, for anything.

Hey Ken, How would you expand on this and what changes would you suggest be made?
