And I will say again: the Kindle does not process them slowly, even when you add several hundred books at a time. I have never tested thousands, but I expect it to be no different.

The reason is again as I have already said: the Kindle processes one/a few books, adds them, and repeats. It might also help that I believe metadata is easier to extract from the mobipocket database wrapper than by unpacking an EPUB to get at the OPF. Either way, why does the Kobo slow down the more books you queue and the Kindle doesn't???
