It would probably work. The only place I can think of that would be an issue is the user table. It has a column called "UserKey". The values are different for Touch and my Glo. I don't know how this is generated. But, saving the values from the Aura, copying the database and restoring the value would probably work.

You could dump Bookmark table from one and load it into the other. That is the only table with anything related to the bookmarks.

For either of these to work, you would have to make sure the books are in exactly the same place on both devices. Calibre would do that for you, or connect both at the same time (without calibre or the Kobo desktop running) and copy the books directly from one to the other.
