You can export the table "Bookmarks" from one database and import it into the other. SQLite Expert Personal should have something to do that. If you have any purchased books, select just the sideloaded books and export them. These have the "ContentID" starting with "file://".

That is a good option, it won't be a perfect match but it is better than having all the books with the same add date. As long as the date added doesn't override the reading date / status (like I said, I don't mark the books as unread after I open them, I just leave them in the reading list) that is a big improvement to just lumping them all together on the same date.

The date added and the last reading date are stored separately for each book. And I specifically wanted to be able to do this, so I made sure it worked.

If that is an offer, I very much appreciate it  but since there is a lot to do, I wouldn't want to make you spend all that time after you've already spent so much time answering my questions (and thank you again for all the help).
A last question about annotations: when I export them to a .txt file, they wind up at the root of the device storage. Are they linked to the original epub file at all? Or can I move them to a folder without causing any problems? I don't like the mess.

In one of the recent firmware versions, Kobo changed to put the text file in a directory "Exported Annotations". But, there isn't any way to connect them other than the names. As you are using calibre, you could add the text file to the book in the library as a second format. Calibre will then maintain them together.
