Thanks Peter. Am I correct that the data base(s) are the <random number> files in ...\.kobo\kepub ? Are these standard SQL or MYSQL so that I could look inside with some tool (bonus points if you can tell me which )

On thing worth knowing though is that it's fairly simple using calibre to automate the creation of a "Finished" shelf via retrieval of the reading % of the books via the Kobo Utilities plugin (and additionally one step of doing that is to retrieve the reading status of all books, which can then be restored afterwards.)
I'l check that out. Thanks for the pointer.
