Ummm... in a perfect world. In the real world, when a Kobo device finds an error that prevents importing, most often, it crashes silently. No restart and until you notice the missing books, no notice that import failed though I have seen a few stack_xx.log files. In that perfect world, the suppliers of the ebooks would have checked them and corrected any issues before making the ebook available.
My procedure is to check all my epubs with FlightCrew and epubcheck (epub2) or epubcheck (epub3) and correcting all errors before sending the epubs to my ereader. In the case of my Clara HD, after upgrading the internal storage to 32GB, I copied over 9214 epubs in one swell foop which took a while and then watched the import slowly crawl from 6% to 94% (the import process seems to start at 6% and end at 94%
). Reconnected to my laptop and update the metadata to get series, etc. added to the database. No errors and all the books were in the database with the correct information.
