Prevent importing
Is there any way to make the stock Kobo reader ignore my Calibre library, which I manage using KOReader? By ignore, I specifically mean "not import"?

Yes, you can create a folder that will not be crawled by the indexer. I haven't taken the time to test this, so I'm only offering broad strokes. In the [FeatureSettings] section of the config file, you can have a line like:

ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)

This is used by Nickel Menu to prevent the files from that installation to get added to the library. My Regular Expressions is a little rusty, but I think that already excludes any folder that starts with a . (other than .kobo or .adobe)
