But I suppose you mean format the user partition when the device is connected to a PC. Not as dangerous, but it would wipe the user info and you need to do the setup again.
My first reaction was to wonder what you did you do for the other 3.5 hours. When I setup a new Kobo ereader, the sideloading would take maybe 15 minutes. Plus an hour or so of processing by the device. That would put over 1000 books on the device.
But, my second reaction was to work out that that was 30 seconds per book. Everyone of them is a book you want to read. That doesn't sound like a waste of time.
And thinking about your delete time, that's a mass "I don't want any" delete. If having preloaded books is actually a good idea, you would be looking through them and deleting them one at a time. That to me is a waste of time.

Like I said,
I took the time to load books of topics of my interest, selected English, selected 'free' and started downloading all those that I thought I'd like.
Screening each book's intro in the Kobo store takes a good 10 seconds.
I don't fully read the intro, but just to get a general guess at what the book would be about.
30 seconds per book isn't that bad!
