Somehow, I doubt *VERY* highly you have anywhere close to the same number of books that I did when I was using calibre.

Not sure why 1 book didn't show up -- I checked and it's had the series prepend. Please note my D drive is removable and not indexed or the search times would have be lower.

Your D drive. LOL. Just the fact that you are using windows and a mouse and gui to manipulate your OS is...highly amusing to me. I really don't mean that as disrespect, honestly its just so far from where I am. I am a *nix user. Whatever new books I get, I have a script that I run that postprocesses them, renames, lookups, the whole nine, puts them in a temp dir, I hook up my reader and run another script, all gets copied and file names sanitized and my reader gets unmounted *while calibre would still be loading*.
I don't even have to touch a mouse.

Good for you. Personally I have no need for calibre but I'm currently using it again so I can test out using google cloud drive with it. It's not *bad* software tho it has some lame design choices but its' not the end all, be all of ebook management, despite the feelings of people who don't know anything else but windows.
Personally, I found it acceptable even handling the large number of books I loaded into it but the time it would take to load at that point meant that I was obligated to leave it open all the time or wait 15 minutes for it to load. I don't blame calibre, I was impressed it could handle what it did but at that point, it was faster for me to sideload manually but I don't mind at all.
