The main problem is gathering the metadata and keeping it up to date. One time I was unable to use my H2O for *at least* 10 minutes after I unplugged its USB. That may be okay if you purposefully initiate a full scan, but otherwise…
Exactly the same experience on my side. One of (many) reasons why I don't want to have anything with nickel. And, why I store my ebooks, just to be safe, in hidden folders.
I really don't understand people who like to wait and wait and wait...

I experience this after putting books on the device while using KoReader and then switching back to Nickel. KoReader doesn't scan after disconnecting from USB, so we get used to it. When you are in Nickel, plug in and then unplug the device, it will scan all new books, even though we might not have put any new files on the device while using Nickel. When you reshuffled your library in KoReader this scan can take a while. On the other hand, gathering metadata takes a long time in KoReader as well...
Of course I prefer KoReader but have to switch into Nickel once in a while because of the missing metadata search functionality in KoReader, so that scan and wait time is a necessary evil, unfortunately.
