You are correct, I don't see a copy of the database file in the temp folder. So I guess that deleting the temp folder might not be strictly necessary, but I still prefer to do it.

I'm working on a script that will wrap all this functionality into a service so I could simply do "sudo service calibre-ro-server start/stop/restart" and have it do all the necessary work. Then I might simply add a cronjob to restart the service (which will clear the temp folder) at 3am or something.

I will post it here once I'm done, if anyone's interested.
