If you're using FFDL's mobi output, switch to downloading to epub and converting to mobi or azw3. FFDL's native mobi output is rather poor compared to calibre's convert and is unlikely to improve. Plus with epub you can use update and not download old chapters all the time.
I've had two kindles (both without touch screen) and found that keeping all my fanfiction on them wasn't practical for my habits. (Some 3000 books; When I only had ~1/2 that many, it was still workable.)
Because the kindle wants to index the complete text of all books, and I update books on my device at least once and usually several times a day, it never really finished indexing. So search didn't work, and it would frequently pause for lengthy periods or even crash and reboot. Now I keep the kindles just for testing and light use with only a few hundred books on them.
However, I don't recall ever seeing the exact symptoms you describe.
