But, the removal of the missing books has no dependency on the device being restarted, or nickel being restarted. It should happen, and the database gets updated. If something interrupted that, then the database update might not happen, or it could corrupted. The former would mean the books would still be in the database and would need to be removed. The latter probably means the same, but the database in that situation is probably not useable. The only issue I can think of if you don't restart nickel is that I don't think the database will be compressed. I think this can happen during the start-up.
I have no idea what you are talking about there. Nickel maintains its own dictionaries. It downloads them over WiFi. You can add others, but, I don't believe KOReader uses nickel's dictionaries. I don't know what the reference to "OCR files" is.
And you can get calibre to transfer non-book files. But, you need to add them to the calibre library. After that, calibre will treat them as a book, but won't be able to do things like convert them or modify metadata.

I forgot to mention that, although the kobo interface functions as usual while the database update happens and after it "finishes", kobo device does not show up in Windows in either case when connected to PC. If an update does not need a restart as you said, the problem is apparently caused by other reasons.
I referred to the dictionaries and OCR files for scanned books in Koreader. Good to know Calibre can transfer non-book files. Thanks!
