Hello:

I'm using Calibre 7.23 on Windows 10 64bits and I'm attempting to configure a Samung Galaxy Tab A9+ (SM-X21O) running Android 14.

My objective is to use the tablet internal memory to store items from the library on the HDD of the same drive where Calibre is installed and not use the SD Card of the tablet at all as a target device for Calibre.

When I connect the tablet with a USB cable, Calibre readily recnognizes the tablet as a new device and then automatically starts to scan the whole tablet (internal memory and SD Card) for items to match against the current library.

I know that when that is done I can configure the device to not scan the tablet's SD Card in the future (which I can't do if the SD Card is not mounted on the tablet).

However, the SD Card has about 883.8Gb of more than 20 thousand comic files, which I'm not going to manage with Calibre, so this first scan of the tablet may take Calibre many hours: on some trials, after 30mins of scanning, Calibre had barely covered 1% of the SD Card content.

Is there a way to prevent Calibre from scanning the whole SD Card on the tablet or to at least a way to speed the first scan of the tablet?

Awaiting your kind reply,
