Having said that, my Touch indexed over 400 books in just a few hours, certainly less than overnight. I downloaded everything I had in my Archives one Touch screen worth at a time, then when each batch said "download complete", started the next batch. Perhaps it went faster because they were strictly from Amazon, or because they'd all been indexed already on the K2? No idea. But I did those first and made sure indexing was done before loading my Calibre library in there, or adding my collection from Baen (both of those are pretty small batches). Current inventory on the Touch is 468, sorted into 39 Collections.

It could be Amazon books index faster I've never taken too much notice. I don't keep many of them on my Kindles I sideload pretty much everything. I do know the Touch will choke if you try to do too many things at once. I've seen several instances since it release where a Kindle Touch owner was asking for help or thought something was wrong with their unit which could also be the case.
but most of the time they just overloaded it.
I say 100 because in case a book gets stuck it easier to track it down then throwing 400 on there at a time. I'm talking about Sideloaded books not Amazon Archive items.
