Hey there,

I have been using Calibre for about a year now ever since I got a Kobo Wifi for Christmas last year. I have also been using this forum for some of the problems that I experienced in the past, but have not registered until now. I just want to say that I have been enjoying calibre and my Kobo thus far(even with some of the pesky problems I have had before).

I recently created a new library on my main PC(used to have my calibre/kobo library on my laptop), but since I am getting rid of my laptop I figured I would create a new library. I didn't transfer anything between libraries, I just installed calibre on my PC, and transferred the books from the device to library. I had to do a lot of resorting/tagging again, but that wasn't a problem.

The problem I have now is that whenever I connect my Kobo to calibre it takes about 40 -50 minutes to send metadata from calibre to the device(including when I first connect, it takes only mere seconds to get device info and get list of books, but still takes about 45 minutes to send metadata during the beginning of a connect). It doesn't matter if I send one book to the device, or even if I am just connecting to calibre. It usually takes that long every time now. Also, the device is always processing info after I disconnect from calibre, even if I have done absolutely nothing in calibre.

I am using Auto management in the metadata preferences, but not sure that should cause this sort of problem. I have about 1300 books in my Ereader.

I was also getting a scan and fix message from windows when I connected my device to my computer(I eventually gave in and tried that, it said it fixed it but I am having issues with the metadata and processing after disconnect).

My goal is to find a solution without having to do a hard reset. Can anyone help me?

PS, If I have to do a hard reset, will the books in my library disappear if I connect my empty kobo? Or will I be able to go to library and load all of my books back onto my device?
