The same importing applies when I just logged out & then login & after the wifi setup, the Kobo is "importing" stuff/books.
The details of the book are added database. The database is used by the UI to list the books for you to choose from. Then it opens the file to read it. Only one copy of the book.

The import happens each time the device sees a new book. If you log out of the Kobo account, the database is cleared. That means that when you login, all the books are considered to be new.
