Sorry, but that's incorrect. The database only gets changed when using Calibre 5.x. Calibre 4.23 is compatible with the Calibre 5 database but does not change the database if it's not the new version.

The solution (IMHO) is to use cloud storage such as Dropbox and the associated app. Load some ePub and use the cloud app to copy to iBooks.
