Then just let the kobo device regenerate the thumbnail on its own time. This could be marked as a "enabling this will increase your memory usage. not recommended if you have a lot of books" option.

The other option would be to just receive them 1 by 1 and save them to disk immediately after processing. slow and steady..
There is already an option in KU to not generate thumbnails, but looking at the code, I think it's broken for the 'none' option so...
