When it gets to the Home screen, it's completely blank but for 1 entry saying "Archived Items (0)". Previously, before adding the books, I could see the Welcome Letter and User Guide, etc, listed on the Home Screen.
During the 10 seconds or so it's at the Home screen, I can open the Menu, etc, but it's very sluggish and unresponsive.
If I plug in the USB cable, I can see all 200+ books in the Documents folder. Also, the message appears on the screen that you usually get saying it's connected via USB, and the message stays there (as it should) - the Kindle doesn't go into the boot loop while it's connected.
I tried holding in the Power Button for 30 seconds, didn't help.
I did notice that it's on 4.1.0 and one of the times I plugged it in I seen an Update xxxxxxx.bin file, which was 9.9MB. After a few reboots it was still there, so I tried deleting it, but it didn't help, Kindle just constantly reboots.

Try removing the books you added and see if that stops the rebooting. If so you got a bad book. If that does fix it do a factory reset next then slowly readd your books in batches of 20.
