Ok, I wasn't able to wait until tomorrow :-)

Here are the results of my test:

Spoiler:

If you ignore my resets because I was to impatient to wait for it to scan correctly, then two observations can be made:
- simulating the usb connection does not work reliably (meaning there are side-effects that disorient Nickel)
- copying books in KSM and then letting them being scanned by Nickel (via plugging in and unplugging again) seems to work ok with this version of KSM (when before this led to database corruption)

Next test will be to put books on the reader using Nickel.

Cheers, Joachim
PS: Good to know that I shouldn't fully turn off KSM.
