It took Calibre 15min to delete 3000 books, it took Calibre 40 min to process 3000 books, another 40+ to put them on the device, it took Aurora another 30+ min after all that to process those books and actually become useable. And this is after Calibre supposedly already created database. Problem besides time is that Kobo did not even care to create anything to automate managing shelves or libraries for their device, people must rely on Calibre for that functionality.
As far as book search- english is fine, it is those pesky other languages, Chinese, Hindu, Cyrillic that you wont be able to find, of course if you are "power" user you'd used Calibre or something else to transliterate meta information for your books, but just imagine how faster it would have been if you did not need Calibre, just put your folder organized collection on the device and you are ready to go.
