If it performing OK, then good. But, updating a lot of extra rows when not needed is something I really try to avoid.

(3) I can think of quite a few improvements, and in fact last night I just did one last night after I posted because it was in my head, but it's just not worth it to beautify it much the thing is simple took me about a minute to do and works
(4) you are right I don't have any purchased books only sideloads but I don't -think- pushing dateread into the past (which is all this does) would impact anything?
I didn't think it through yesterday, it just gave me an uncomfortable feeling.

The main affect will be for people using multiple devices or the apps. When you open a purchased book, it contacts the server to get the latest reading position. If you have been reading on another device, you get a prompt to ask if you want to go to the new position. The check is based on the timestamp, not the actual position in the book. And if a sync is done, the position from the later timestamp is taken without any prompts.

And I think it will mean a sync takes a lot longer. Every purchased book with a series number will trigger a change when they haven't really changed.

And of course, for anyone who is using my Kobo Utilities to store the reading status, there are going to be some consequences.

PPS It's an easy thing to try, it's brilliant for me, and for anyone else who wants to try it it's at the worst a bit of fun really as long as you back the db up first
Yes, everyone, back up your databases before messing with them.
