Hi,

I've been using Calibre Companion for a while to sync my two Android devices (Nexis 7 & Droid RAZR Max) as wireless devices. It's always taken a while connect and sync up, but lately it's become unacceptably long.

The progress bar dialog:
Syncing with calibre...
Receiving metadata from calibre

...used to step through my 2700+ books by 10s and take a few minutes, which was inconvenient but acceptable. Now it's taking a bit less than 1 sec per book raising the total time to about 30 minutes.

That's fine as a one time thing, which it seems to be if I connect the same device again. Connecting the same device again sees a very short sync time--which is a great improvement.

But when I connect the other device, it does the full 30+ minute update again.

Is there anything I could do in my setup to address this issue?

Otherwise, I speculate that the new feature added in Version 3.2.1 to avoid sending metadata every time doesn't take multiple devices into account.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me, thanks.
