Thanks Glenn, this is helpful feedback.

"connect quickly, grab my books, and be done" is precisely what CalibReader is meant to do. Forty minutes before it even asks is an unacceptable bug, not the design, and I'm working on a fix right now.

Regarding the robocopy mirror:CalibReader keeps a small sync file in the library folder, and a mirror run wipes it. I'm adding a way to keep that on the device instead, so a read-only copy like yours just works.

I'll post here as soon as the fix is out. In the meantime:

Roughly how big is your 3k book library, in terms of space?
Do you run the 'official' calibre content server (https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/server.html) ?
Do you just use the dropbox mirror as a sort of personal backup?
