Yep!

What theducks missed was that after matching the books, you need to right click on the device button and choose the option "Update cached metadata on device". This updates the calibre.metadata on the device so that the matched book will be remembered. But, I think you have worked this out.

Yes.

This is while generating the metadata.calibre. I can't think of any reason to be running out of memory there, unless you have a lot of custom columns with a lot of data in them. And I suppose if you are running the 32bit version of calibre, that could contribute to it as well.

I have only 3 or 4 custom columns, and I use the portable version of calibre, I don't know whether that is the 32 or 64 bits. My PC is a surface book 2, which can do both.

What do you mean here? Disconnects from the device? Or calibre closes like you say at the top?
|
Close like I said above.

And the first connection after putting a lot of books on a device will probably take longer. There is more work involved in matching the first time, plus the Kobo drivers will probably do more work updating metadata and collections on the device. The next connection should be a lot quicker.

Which is why I disconnect every few hundreds of books - when Calibre doesn't close down first, which is rare.
And now the problem is solved, the connection is much quicker, as normal.
