What I personally like about the Kobo's approach is that once the processing is done, it's done, and you can see what's going on. There's no temporary reader slowdown while processing a big batch of books in the background.

Oh, you mean just like the Kindle, except that there still isn't a slowdown?
Okay, granted, the Kindle doesn't show the progress. But I'd rather read than stare at a progressbar, and it sounds like I am not the only one who is startled by the idea of a progressbar being desirable.
The one downside I can see is that if a book jams the indexer (that happens on Kindles too, @xor_
) then you won't have any idea except by looking at the number of books you now have.
Of course, on either the Kindle or the Kobo you will have to remove all the non-indexed books and add a few at a time to figure out which book is problematic.
