As I've said often enough on this site, I don't have time to read two or three books a day. Therefore I don't buy 1000 books a year. I don't even have the time to try and find three books a day to read.

Even so, if you would do this every two months, you could do the import (takes a few minutes), and let the conversion run overnight.

The time you spend on fixing metadata is completely determined by yourself, not by the tools you use. I must admit I've stopped spending a lot of time on fixing books. The only things I now do is fix the metadata, and if needed, I do a tiny tweak to the layout such as fixing indents (some books have huge indents, or none at all) or removing whitespace between paragraphs. With DRM on the books, I wouldn't be able to do that, making the book very annoying to read.

I did quit trying to get every book 100% correct in all respects. Now it just has to be "correct enough" to not annoy me, and as books get newer and newer, they become better in this regard.
