How does copying something twice improve data integrity?

And seriously, how often do you import huge amounts of books? Go do something else during the import or take a nap. Perhaps read a book?
Often.

And it's not the issue of time but of space. Who said anything about time? I'm using SSD disk for most of the imports and don't have much space.

At one point in time in Calibre's import procedure, there are three copies of a file on the disk. If that file is large, you'll need a ton of space for absolutely no gain in anything.
