• This project is currently under development, feel free to report bugs or propose suggestions : any help is welcome !
• I assume that the database structure is the same for all Kobo devices. Maybe it is not true, but I can't check. If your device is different from mine (Kobo Libra H2O), feel free to send me your KoboReader.sqlite. I would adapt my code if needed.
