I think this latter setting is the important one, because if you have "Show new added books" selected it has to completely scan the card to find the new books.

Have you tried using "Calibre Companion" to manage your books? I find it to be much better than adding books directly from Calibre.

I've just timed my T68 from being completely powered off, to being ready to read a book, and it takes about 35s.
Thank you for you answer, i have already everything setup as you said but still i have to wait about 10 minutes to have the sd ready.. moreover, my recent books are all in the internal storage... and if i switch the t68 on without the sd card, i'm ready to read in a bunch of seconds...
maybe it's because i have my books organized in many folders (/books/language/autors/...). How is your sd organized? i'm planning to format it and resend al my books to it with a simpler structure (maybe just /languages/...)
I've seen Calibre companion, but it's not free and i would like to test it before buying it.. do you think it is worth?

best regards
