Ah! I'm getting so frustrated....my computer is having a *terrible* time sending books to my galaxy tab via calibre and calibre companion. I don't think it's any fault of the programs- my computer's CPU is damaged and it's just too much for the poor old dear. Sending just a few books takes fifteen minutes or more and it frequently disconnects. Since I have about five thousand documents to move, this is rather an issue.

Could I just connect the galaxy tab to the computer via usb and move the books from calibre's library into the library folder instead with copy/paste? Would they then show up in calibre companion? Would I still then be able to delete those books on the device by using calibre on my computer? Or any other suggestions to make this process less painful with a damaged/ultra-slow computer?

Edit to add: It looks like uploading the book is only taking seconds. It's sending the metadata between each book that is taking 5+ minutes each time.
Please send help!
