If you find, when adding books in big numbers (happened to me with jobs of around 5000 titles) and you find that the adding process slows to a cwawl, and when finished you find that loads of books have come through with both Title and Author "Unknown", you will find that a possible (probable ?) problem is that your /var partition is 100% full, and Calivre cannot add data to /var/tmp/caxxxxxxxx.

Obvious solutions: Resize /var if possible, or work with smaller clumps of books.
