The problem with Amazon's approach to indexing is that books -- especially sideloaded books -- can get stuck if the indexing fails, causing the device to continue cranking away without end. Since the Kindle OS provides no way to find the offending book, that's a big problem for large libraries.
A better approach, if you don't need every word indexed, is to disable indexing. Do that by connecting the device to a pc then find the Search Indexes folder, delete it and replace it with a text file of the same name. The device will still show your books as unindexed but it won't attempt to index them.
Or, you *could* just use a Kobo Aura One which doesn't have an issue with indexing. Plus, Kobo allows Calibre to automatically set up collections without jailbreaking the device. With a large library of sideloaded books, that's a tremendous advantage.
