I'm giving Calibre a try today. After a few hours my library of 7500 books were imported -- sadly about 1/2 of them have the authors and titles reversed.

I see an upcoming patch will make the edits less painful.

However, the problem I am having at the moment are very slow database writes.

If I open a single entry and make a change, saving back to the database is about six seconds.

Metadata in bulk is much worse. I selected 10 records to correct the spelling of the author's name. I then selected "Edit metadata in bulk" and made my change. However, when I clicked "OK" it was a full two minutes before the changes were displayed and the GUI was again responsive.

I am running Vista 64 with four gig of memory on a 2.8ghz Quad-core.

Given the size of my library, these delays are a show-stopper as I had hoped to use the tool to quickly organize my books and enter metadata.

Any tips or advice much appreciated.
