You're not alone. It's a long time since I experimented with koreader (on an AuraHD and a Glo), but when I did, sooner or later - usually within a few days of installing - I ended up with a corrupt database when I connected to calibre.

I never did track down what the problem was and I do know many people don't have this problem. In the end I decided I preferred the default Kobo software for reading epubs anyway and I really didn't have enough PDFs I wanted to read in black-and-white to make further troubleshooting worthwhile.

FWIW, I never did any hacking to increase my SD card capacity nor did I have very many books (only 100-ish). I did have a suspicion that my problems may have been caused by trying to access books (EPUB and PDF) that were visible to both Kobo Nickel and koreader. I know that many (all?) koreader users place their books in a hidden directory so that Nickel can't see them. Whether that would have solved my corruption problems, I don't know because, as I said, I ran out of patience for what would have been, for me, a purely academic exercise.
