So I decided to resolve my problem of the seemingly endless I'm Reading list, where all my sideloaded books were automatically going, in two ways: (1) took Taming's advice and decided to keep most of my library in future on 32GB SDHC card, arriving by snailmail any day now; and (2) doing a factory reset and modest amount of reloading.
The reset was not as painful as I thought. It took only a couple of minutes to get back to an essentially blank Kobo, though the 100 freebies came back in the Books list.
Then, totally avoiding the Kobo desktop app, relying instead on Calibre to do library management, I reloaded 10 books (elapsed time 31 seconds) with metadata (4 seconds). Calibre does things fast but I think the secret is not to confuse it with using any other app for management tasks.
Not surprisingly, most of the reloaded books went directly onto the I'm Reading list. Must be a Kobo bug and I hope it will be fixed.
Thanks, Taming, for advice on and off this forum.
