I was doing some testing on my Forma. Available storage is down to ~1.4GB with ~2500 books transferred by calibre. I added 1 book and it took just shy of 6 seconds from when I clicked on the Smart Eject icon in calibre to when the book was imported and showing in My Books. Basically, importing started at 6%, jumped to 94% and then done. I reconnected to send the series info and took ~3 seconds before I was at the Kobo GUI after Smart Eject.
I then tried sending 88 books. It took around 2 minutes and 50 seconds to send the 88 books plus about 8 seconds to send the metadata. It took about 52 seconds from eject to import finishing (~1% per book, 0.6 seconds per book).
Sorry but I have trouble considering those timings as "takes AGES".
I then used KOReader and Plato to look for books using my default directory structure (Ebooks/author_sort/filename.epub). Personally, I prefer using either Nickel's search on the Kobo database or KOReader's search on metadata.calibre to trying to maintain a directory structure that is pretty much useless when you have a decent number of books on your ereader.
I'm assuming that your KOReader/Plato friendly directory structure is done by a template when sending the ebooks to your Forma. Otherwise, moving files after they are on your Forma would require all the moved files to be rescanned on the next disconnect or triggering a full rescan from NickelMenu.
Perhaps you should consider dropping use of the KoboTouch/KoboTouchExtended driver and going to KOReader/Plato directory based structure as suggested by @davidfor. Possibly look into the
KOReader Sync plugin.
