Can anyone clarify?
How you transfer files on the device has nothing to do with it. Once you unplug it, or turn it on, the device will re-build its internal database - and that is what takes time.

So no, using SONY's software will not help.

Unless... you use SONY's software to store stuff on your PC and only carry a limited selection on your SD card. But that's a different story, I suppose.

Re-reading that post has me confused as well - I am not sure what he meant. But I did test it extensively, and indexing times seem to be the same whether I use SONY's software or Calibre.
