I came across the forum because I am researching how to remove the percentage read from the Kobo display. I was digging around and I see ___PercentRead in the SQLlite database, I was wondering if removing this would solve my problem?
Modifying the database won't help. That column is where the percent read is stored, but it is changed as you read a book. You could add a trigger to set it to zero all the time, but then the device would show "0%" for all books that are being read. You probably need a patch to the display code to remove it.

But, for my curiosity, why? The percent read shows that the book has been started, not finished and gives an idea of how far through the book you are. To me that is useful info. I can't think of a reason to remove it. Or, do you want to remove it from one particular place?
