I couldn't resist.

As I have just started reading "Changes", I converted the epub to kepub and sent it. After it was processed into the device database, I did some playing.

The first attempt was to change the BookId for the Keyword row with Type=Authors. I changed the BookId to the contentId for the sideloaded kepub. When I disconnected and opened the book, it had the BtB icon. Opening that showed the author details.

I then changed the rows with type="BookKeywords". These also dislpayed in the book.

Lastly, I tried the "ChapterKeywords". I assume these are what marks the words or phrases in the books. Unfortunately, I had reformatted the book a little. This included renaming the chapter file names. That meant I had to change the BookId an ChapterId for the rows. I only changed it for one chapter. Nothing showed up. But, reading the original kepub, I can't see any words marked either. I'll have to try a different book. I know "Catching Fire" had them.

With that brief play, it might be possible to add some BtB data. But, is it worth it?

Sharkus: If you happen to see the person who did the database work for this, could you please give them a slap from me. There is no primary key on the table. And looking at the data, there are multiple copies of each row in the database. I think a slap is deserved.
