I keep my Calibre library (books and metadata.db) in Dropbox. If I need a book, I can just go to Dropbox, drill down to the book, click on the book, and open it in iBooks or another application.

I'd like to create an IOS app that will read metadata.db directly (read-only, no writes) to search for a book and open in the appropriate application.

Does anyone have any feedback or caveats to doing this? Any potential problems?
