^^.

I was mainly hinting that UNCaGED is already taking a leap of faith by throwing SQL at Nickel at runtime at the end, so if Calibre were to join the fun by screwing with that *in the middle* of UNCaGED's run, "fun" things could start to happen ^^.

Of course, as you said, the whole point is moot, because direct file I/O is not happening ^^.

From memory the wireless driver doesn't actually see the disk, only what the application at the device end presents to it. If that is correct, the Kobo Utilities plugin would not be able to see the database. And the device end of the system should be able to set the series and other info.

But, at the same time, the wireless device should be able to present whatever information is available. I believe that Calibre Companion will return the reading status. Though I haven't looked at how that gets used on calibres side.

Yeah, the wireless driver limits what can be done using Kobo UNCaGED.

I wonder if anyone has thought about creating a calibre driver using https://github.com/PyFilesystem/pyfilesystem2 as an abstraction, and exporting the Kobo user partition over SSHFS, FTP or SMB/CIFS?

If the device made the partition available in a way that could be mounted on the PC, then you could use the KoboTouch driver code with very few changes. Just changing it to subclass from the Folder driver would do a lot of it.*

Well, then, it's a good-bye for me, thank you for the info.

Does anyone think the USB port on a Kobo breaks because of rough handling or because of the USB port not being sturdy enough?

I try to be as gently as possible when plugging in the cable and I make sure I have the connector on the cable facing the correct way.

Yes! I broke my USB port a couple months ago after accidentally dropping my eReader. I got it fixed though.
