Thanks for the feedback folks!

I'm still an amateur at all this Kobo hacking, so it's great to hear from more experienced developers.

I was running into an issue where I couldn't open the DB, because it was locked. I REALLY want metadata updating, so I was trying to think of ways to do so. Then I had the idea of "will Nickel freak out if I remount the filesystem while in USB connect mode?". Turns out, Nickel doesn't seem to mind.

I knew it was possible to simulate touch presses, but I didn't know how, so the current way is a quick and dirty method. I am aware that it needs some work.
