It's much less work to just go into My Books and tap on the books you want to be in the list.

Actually, that was my tentative plan. To use touch and then do a rescan to update the DB. On the KLC, the rescan is quite quick. The trick would be to only update the correct files. I wouldn’t want to hardcode the book files into the script, but filtering the files might move me into realms of Linux Gnosticism that I fear to tread. I’d need to drill down into Kobo’s directories since most of my current reads aren’t sideloaded in the root of the drive. Opening them manually (as I did last night) would be less of a headache, but my curiosity is piqued.
