Importing in smaller batches won't help, you'd still have to find the books you just imported among the thousands of books you've collected.
It'd be a lot easier to allow the user bring up the bulk metadata editor first, to specify metadata he wanted to apply to the books as they were being imported.
Or, if you could specify a tag that would be added to each book as it was being imported, when you began the import, you could use that tag to select the books you wanted to run the bulk metadata editor on.
Or if the books were tagged with the date and time of their import.
Absent something like this, there is no way to identify the books that were just imported, except by searching through all the books. And that will be impossible, once the number of books in the library begins to grow to a reasonable number.
I mean - most of the readers I know have a couple of thousand paper books in their house. I expect after a few years of reading ebooks, you'd quickly exceed that.
