A bit late but maybe you still have problems.
I'd guess that your problem is the SD card.
There was a thread somewhere in the Sony Forum about data transfer being slow with a fast (class 10) card in the T1.
Personally I wouldn't use a SD card for books at all, but if you (feel you) have to use one try a small (2-4 GB) class 4 one.

I also think there's still a problem with the database when using calibre to put books on the SD card. To work around that you'll first have to add one book to the SD card using the Windows Explorer, disconnect the T1 and let it finish adding that book to its db. After that calibre should work.

Edit:
Ah well, seems the problem was resolved after all. Anyone interested look here
