This is a known limitation, the more books the longer it takes to create or update the database. Two solutions come to mind.

1. Stop trying to carry an entire library, limit yourself to 500 titles.

2. Install PRS+ (as described in this thread) and turn off scan of the sd card. Turning off card scanning stops the database from being updated. You can then use the browse by folders to find your books for reading.

Good Reading.
