Even if adding a book dropped to 5 seconds, you are still looking at ~11.8 hours for the 8500 books.

Perhaps you could give us the time required to add 1000 books to your Kindle? Inquiring minds are eager to know.

Also note that Kobo epubs synced from their server seems to take quite a bit less time to process compared to sideloaded epubs though I have only done ~50 ebooks going that route after a factory reset. I don't do that many factory resets so have never put a stopwatch on the process.
Again, it has been some time since I added a ton of books at once. I think I maxed out on a couple hundred.

Adding one book does not take ten seconds, it takes one or two seconds.

Syncing, I can't judge -- the majority of the time has to do with connection speeds.
