Update: I had to have Calibre ignore the tablet and send my files through drag and drop onto the side card.

At first it was fine, the initial scan to file list of files was around 2 minutes. Then, whenever I would first connect the tablet it would be 6+ minutes, then next time 2 minutes, then 4 1/2 minutes, etc. It was getting to the point where I had no idea how long it would take to communicate with the tablet and I can't interrupt the communication.

I made sure it was just the "Books" folder was checked under folders to scan, but for some reason it kept scanning "Ringtones", then "discovering" books I had already on the card from before my tablet firmware update. I use Moon+Reader Pro, and it would scan the .Moonreader sub folder under "books". I unchecked that, it didn't make it better, rechecked it to allow scan, didn't make it better (the scan of .c2 took forever).

I don't know what he issue is, it's definitely something that's <i>my issue</i> and not a calibre program problem, but right now I have NO idea how to fix it and no energy to deal with it. So drag and drop it it.
