The conversion makes it look like it is faster to delete the books on the SD & reload from Calibre to the directory of choice; but do I just delete book directory prior to resending from Calibre?
I should be getting the update on my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 soon & it is running CM 13 Marshmallow with the CC lib also on an SD card.
Moving the books is too time consuming as there is also a screen timeout which hopefully didn't affect the process; still just deleting & reloading seems much faster.

I am not sure what to say. On my test device, an Amazon Fire running Lollipop, moving a library of 201 books took 3 minutes and 15 seconds. It sounds as if your SD card is slow or your device is slow. But that said ...
If you want to delete and resend your books then the fastest way to delete the books is to:
- Use a file manager to remove all the book files on the device
- Start CC
- Tap the menu button (the 3 dots) and choose "Books with missing files".
- Tap "Delete all"
- Tap the "Back" button twice to go back to the main screen. You will see the "Empty library" screen
- Use Settings / Formats and Folders to change the folder location(s)
- Connect as a wireless device and resend your books
Another way to do it is:
- Make a CC backup (Settings / Backup and Restore / Backup)
- Open Android settings, go to Apps, CC, then Clear Data
- Use a file manager to delete all the book files
- Start CC. You will see the "Empty library" screen
- Restore the backup. DO NOT check the "Restore database" checkbox
- Use Settings / Formats and Folders to change the folder location(s)
- Connect as a wireless device and resend your books
