Calibre would need to check and compare the book format files but this would take less time than I predicted, probably around 200 to 300 books per second.

Needs thought ...
That could still be a lot for people who have a large library.

If you do that, how about adding a toggle to the menu that says "refresh all changed books on next connect".

You could even add an option to decide if that toggle would reset after the connect. People with small libraries might leave it on all the time, and people with large libraries would turn it on manually once in a while.

Or would this be a support nightmare?
