From my experience, it wasn't reliable. I could do it, but frequently the book would get imported anyway. The creator of the KoboTouchExtended driver tried as well. We both decided it wasn't worth the hassle. I probably know more about it now then when I first tried, but, again, I just don't think there is enough gain to make it worth the effort.
I think I have figured out most of the columns but I am still testing. I am only planning to use ePub and kepub files. I am only planning to support the latest firmware version, and whichever one I use.

The other alternative for my use case is to inject a helper script as a update which would perform the database changes after the content is imported. Do you think this would be an easier option?
