Ok, what I've done now:

Factory reset
Set up the ereader (log in)
Connect to PC with calibre and stuff closed
Rename BookReader and KoboReader files on ereader and copy the two files from the backup
Pressed Eject in the toolbar in windows
Screen kept showing "connected and charging" after eject, but Windows was no longer showing it as connected, so I pulled out the cable
It briefly showed a list of books with reader percentage and the name as cover art cause the files didn't exist, but after a second they started disappearing one by one
Turned it off and back on again, no books in list
Connect it to PC again
Open Calibre, this now shows no books as being present
Send all by books to the device
Eject it and the ereader imported everything. Everything shows up as unread
Reconnect to PC and calibre
Selected all the books with green checkmark
Run update metadata with same checkboxes as in screenshot #2 (shows 14 books updated)
Go to store/restore current bookmark and run restore with settings in #3
Eject device
Everything still shows as unread

I think the restore bookmarks didn't do a lot as I just created the columns earlier today and they weren't filled. That's at least what I was hoping to use the backed up sqlite files for.

I feel like the ereader simply isn't accepting the changed database, and as soon as it sees is it tries to "update" it which boils down to resetting it.
