It was ok initially. However, later when I tried to sideload a book it didn't show up on the home screen; it opened just fine in KOReader and on my PW2 so not a file issue. Figuring the only difference was that I didn't clear the DBs I thought I'd clear them now - did it and after a couple of reboots all was back to normal, sideloaded books would appear and all. So probably not a good idea to skip this step  |
Sideloaded books and other things happened to work well on my device, but your mileage may vary. Anyway, it's always a safer choice to reset the databases.
