@kovidgoyal:
Apologies.

I wasn't suggesting that you shouldn't make changes as you wish, particularly since Calibre warns against using various cloud services for the library.

I was trying to explain why the APIs don't work for some "hacks".
As I mentioned, for many purposes, analyzing the directory structure on the cloud-based memory is possible and doesn't suffer from the problems of a varying database structure.

I've always thought that one of Calibre's best features is that the basic library can be "reconstructed" from the file structure--in the distant past I've actually had to use that feature!

Again, thank you for creating and maintaining Calibre.
