The books are imported into the database when the import screen disappears. The background process for cover thumbnail generation does keep running in the background but that process should be able to be interrupted without causing issues according to that traditional informed source.

Since most of the issues appear to be when going from directly reading to an USB connection, I suspect the issue is not related to book imports. When I telnet to my ereader within seconds of the import process finishing, the databases do not show the sqlite-wal or sqlite-shm files telling me the database has been closed. OTOH, if I am reading and do a Telnet connection, I see the sqlite-wal or sqlite-shm files all too often until the 5 minute sleep timeout I use. This is happens even when I have returned to the Home or My Books screen before the Telnet connection.
