The database is not really that complicated and, since it is just a file, you can copy it and "play" with the copy to see how it is structured. You can also replace it with a backup very easily if you mess up. As I mentioned, I had a book that did not show up in Calibre (never did figure out why) but was in the database and showed in my app - this was how I removed it from I'm reading. Having said that, if your not comfortable with playing witht he database then best to just leave it alone!

Enjoy your winter island reading by the wood stove!
I will eventually try it! Can't resist a challenge! But just a question when I open the "Kobo" drive with finder, should I see that database file or is it a hidden system file ???

Because now all I see is ePub books files and a few folders: Digital editions, Desktop installers, Metadata.calibre ???
