My test book is 3407994 words. Kobo says the book in question is 187436K. So an order of magnitude larger.

(I was expecting a longer Import on disconnect, since that's where the individual file sizes used to estimate pages would be calculated, but that zipped right by.)
The import doesn't do the word count. It does gets the ToC, and it might check if the file a ToC entry exists, but it doesn't do the word counts. These are done the first time the book is opened. And that can take a while. With previous firmware versions, you could see when it was finished as that was when the page count was displayed in the footer. The timing is a bit different since 4.17.
