For 1,000 ebooks (say), what might be near optimal is 10 folders each containing 10 folders each containing 10 ebooks. A strategy that is easy to get to from where you are would be to start with 26 subfolders, A-Z, based on the 1st letter of the author (say). This can be setup as the target in Calibre, but for the existing ebooks (if the filename starts with the author) this would be only be 26 cut and paste operations on the USB mounted device. The cut and paste will move the files (mv in Linux), rather than making new copies (cp in Linux), but the Kindle might still decide to re-index them. You don't have to do them all at once, e.g. try A first and see what happens.
