Initial testing seems to indicate that user defined device is better for me -- in basically all regards.
It solves the problem I was having, and it's even twice as fast doing get / send metadata to device.
Obviously I'm losing all the Kobo native/nickel integration, but in cursory testing nickel seems generally okay with epubs appearing and disappearing from disk when it isn't running. It's purely a backup for me, not something I plan to use, and I can clean the DB some day if necessary.
Anything I've missed in my haste that will bite me later?
