Getting Calibre to "see" the books in my Koreader Home folder (Kindle)

Please excuse me for asking this question, but I have not found a definitive answer to this.

I have Koreader on my jailbroken Kindle, and the recommendations are to move the books to a new Home folder rather than the Kindle default documents folder. Apparently, it helps the Kindle use less battery since the empty documents folder no longer needs syncing.

But, once I get the books transferred to the new Home folder, I can no longer tell on Calibre which books I already have on my Kindle.

Is there any way, by adjusting either Koreader or Calibre settings, to remedy this situation?

.nomedia file

My Calibre folders are on the same drive I use for photo backup. So, my book covers are filling up my photo organizer (Windoze). Can I add a .nomedia file to the folders or will that prevent Calibre from showing the covers? I can't exclude the folders (again, Windoze!!!), so the only other thing I can think of is going through and adding *only* the photo folders to the scan list.
