You could try compressing the database. That should reduce the size, but, the amount will depend on how fragmented the database is. If you are a calibre user, my Kobo Utilities plugin has this as a function. Or you can use any SQLite database manager to do it. And I would recommend taking a backup of the database before doing this.
If you logout of the Kobo account, the database is removed and a new one created when you login again. Then the sideloaded books will be imported again. You will lose any annotations, reading status and collections for these books. Again, if you are a calibre user, some of these can be restored afterwards.
Could I ask that when you do either of the above, that you post the new database size. I'm curious about how much these steps actually help.

I don't have comments, I don't have annotations, I don't have notes or highlights, just the books. And 100% of them are kepubs (conversion to kepub on the sideload from Calibre).
I've used your database compression tool many times. But at this point it's not resulting in much of a noticeable reduction in the size of the database.
Will absolutely post the database before & after sizes later today. Plan to do the login/logout on my Forma shortly.
