Thanks
I believe your best bet would be to NOT add large book collections at once. Do them in batches - just put a bunch of directories of books under a subfolder then import that into Calibre rather than your topmost directory.

In terms of Abort, it will keep in Calibre any entries it has created so far. However you could be creating problems for yourself by trying to work out "where it got up to" to try to continue from there.
