Calibre seems to reset metadata.calibre everytime I connect

It was the only SDXC µSD card that was not in use I had on hand. But having 33+ years at 8 hours per day at ~250WPM books to read is, possibly, a bit of overkill. The years came from adding up the word count for the books in calibre, dividing by 250 to get minutes, dividing the minutes by the minutes in a 365.25 day year and multiplying by 3 for the 8 hours/day).

((1,485,512,307/250)/525,960)*3=33.9

Edit: to generalize this, replace *3 by *(24/hours read per day), i.e. 6 hours per day would give 4.

Why limit yourself to 8 hours a day?

I picked it as an example, if you want to use a higher or lower number feel free to modify my equation to reflect your choice. I do have one acquaintance who reads more than 8 hours per day though I have wondered how their spouse tolerates them spending most of the day in a recliner in the den and doing virtually nothing around the house.

What were the other cards used for? Depending on what, I would've probably transferred the data from a smaller card and then just swap them out.

The other cards I had available were too small to be SDXC and I did not feel like swapping cards around since the one device I have with a 64GB µSD card would not have benefited from upgrading to 128GB. My Raspberry Pi is where the 128GB card came from when I replaced it with a larger card and so was conveniently at hand when I decided to see how well the Clara HD would handle a SDXC card.
