I've often wondered why that wasn't done - but I'm pleased that it wasn't
Rumor has it that at some point before Calibre 0.4, when it was still known as libprs500 (pre 2008) the database of books was completely obfuscated and was changed to the open directory format we know today based on user input.

I say rumor because I have no first hand knowledge. I didn't start using calibre until sometime in 2008 around the 0.4.xx time frame.
