Best practice is to copy small batches at a time and letting the Kindle index that batch before making the next copy.
You raised an interesting question; does the Kindle use up a huge amount of battery power while it is indexing like 1800 books? I have just today noticed a massive amount of battery drain along with general slow down and this would explain it. I moved the old indexing files over as well and it sound like that was counterproductive.

Thanks
