Autoconverting when copying to device
I have Calibre set up to autoconvert EPUBs to AZW3 when uploading to my Kindle. However, this means that each book I've selected is converted and then uploaded separately. The conversion takes a few seconds, the upload takes less than a second, and then it takes about 30 seconds to upload the metadata. If I have 20 books, it tales about 10 minutes altogether.

what I now do is to convert the books (a few seconds each) and then upload (a few seconds for 20 books, followed by about 40 seconds to upload the metadata) -- about a minute in total.

Would it be possible to somehow batch all the uploads after autoconverting so that the many lengthy metadata uploads can be combined into one?
