I can't answer your specific questions, only give my anecdotal vague impressions:

1. When you copy a book to the SD card via the Windows File System, and then stick the card in the reader, the reader has to paginate it and "other things". What those are, I know not. But it takes longer than if you load the book via the horrid software and from there to the Reader and/or SD card.

2. The SD card usage drains the battery faster than reading from internal memory. So my approach of "everything on SD" has taken a 180, "everything on internal memory". My SD card purchased for the Reader goes unused except as a backup.

3. So my routine has become: use calibre to convert non-LRF books. Store all books on my PC and on an SD card. Import the books to eBook Library for formatting. Copy them to the Reader.

I'm thinking about dumping eBook Library altogether, and only using Calibre to manage my content. For now, I only use it as an occasional conversion tool.
