hi and welcome to the forums! that is a LOT of books for it to index at once. most folks recommend sending 2 or 300 once. it is also possible that something is stuck indexing. I've never had this happen before, but it is a known issue (not a kindle issue, a book issue). I am sure someone can tell you how to check for it. if you can find out which one it is, the fix is to delete it and re-download it. also, keep your wifi off when not using it unless you are stationary to a server as the battery will run down looking for a signal if you are moving around a lot.

I'm sure you will get much more feedback as folks check in ;o)
