But how does the Kobo Utilities actually hand the value to you so that you can use it in your compare statement? Is there a list of variables that are available from the Utilities? Sorry to be so stupid but there seems to be one piece of the puzzle I'm missing.

Once the custom columns have been setup and all the hoops jumped through, those columns will be filled/updated when you connect your Kobo. Any comparisons, etc. are left up to the user.

The whole idea with the setup is to import the information into calibre from your Kobo. Once it is in calibre, you can see the information whether or not your ereader is connected or even still in existence.
