You are bang on here. I tried an experiment early on where I attached the Kobo, took a copy of it's database, performed a sync, took another copy of the database, unplugged it, let it process the updates, re-attached the Kobo and took one more copy of the database.
The net result was that the Sync operation removed ALL the ePub data from the database.
This was passed on to Kobo:

I have a mixture of ePub and Kobo "non ePub" materials (the free Romance
books from http://www.kobobooks.com installed for my wife).
I find that if you delete a book on the Kobo Books web site from the "I'm Reading" section of "Library"; then Update the Kobo Desktop application with the updated list of material, and finally sync. the Kobo Desktop with the Kobo, when the Kobo is diconnected from the PC it takes a very long time to
process. (10 to 15 minutes).
From looking at the SQLite database on the Kobo before sync, post sync, and post disconnect from the PC, the sync. operation effectively removes ALL the ePub records from the database, and forces the Kobo to treat all the ePubs as new material on the disconnect.
Can these observations be passed on to the developpers for their feedback
please.
Peter Thomas
