You hold the Kobo up as a counter-example, but when I had my Kobo H2O it would sit there for literally hours with a "Processing books" message on the screen when a large batch of books was added. At least the Kindle does its indexing in the background, so one can read while it happens.

I just help a friend of mine swap the uSD card in her new Clara HD for a 32GB card and then we loaded her calibre library (11,024) books on it. Took about 2.5 hours to copy the books over and 1.25 hours to process them. The processing stage is one place where Kobo has really improved their firmware. We started the copy about the time the Alouettes/Red-Blacks game kicked off, started processing before the game ended and it was finished by the time she and my wife watched
Farewell, My Concubine—again!!!—but then I'm not a big Leslie Cheung fan.
BTW, if I hadn't trusted her ability to do quality control on her library, I would never have considered the copy everything in one mass approach but she makes me look very laid back and relaxed when it comes to checking inbound books.
Ummm... forgot, after the processing stage, I used Kobo Utilities to update the metadata including the series info which took another 10 minutes.
