That's the right thing to do.

That's right.
Up to this point, everything sounds right.

But if I just import 100 books and turn them on and off.
I don't understand this. It sounds like you sent 100 books to the device and turned if off before the books were imported. In fact, this almost sounds like you turned the device off before you ejected if.

If you are doing either of these things, then I would expect there to be problems. If you are letting the books import, and then having problems later, then it needs more investigation.

Import it every time I turn on, even when I'm not syncing books.
I formatted the SD card, reset Kobo. Updated the firmware, but it happens anyway.
Every time I start it up, it is re-imported and it takes a long time until I can operate the Kobo. What could that be?
From what you say, the most likely reasons are a corrupt database, or, as @Mrs_Often suggested, a bad book that is preventing the original import from working properly. For the former, you can run a database check using my Kobo Utilities plugin in calibre to see the state of the database. For the latter, follow @Ripplinger instructions.

One thing I have just thought of is the SD card. There was a bug in the firmware that if the SD card didn't have a label, all books on it would be reloaded each time the card was detected. I can't remember exactly which firmware this was in, but, I am sure it was fixed before version 4.8,11073. But, it is worthwhile checking if the card has a label just in case it has reoccured or there was a case where it still happened.
