As per title, every time I want to add a book or two I have to wait for Calibre to get the database of books already on my tablet (a Samsung Tab S7u; if it matters, I use MoonReader+ on it).

Even if the books are on a microSD - and a few thousands of them - it feels weird how slow it can be; over 10-11 minutes' wait each time. Shouldn't there be some database file? Is there any way to speed up the process?
