At one point, Amazon removed the database from the user accessible storage. This removed the ability to manage collections for example.

Almost all the information on the books, user, etc. is stored in the database on Kobo and Kindle devices. I would disagree with @Pajamaman's claim that a Linux file system is a superior choice since a database is designed for queries/searching.
