In respect of calibre, when I see things in braces (aka as curly brackets) I think of template variables - as far as I know they are always lower case, never upper or mixed case.

The book numbers are the id column of the book table, you are correct there will probably be gaps. The internal column name is 'id' not 'ID', as can be seen in Book Details and in the db schema. I have no idea what its external label is - external labels are shown in the book list column titles, but the id column cannot be displayed as a column in the book list.
