My point was that wherever the content comes from, Kindle is going to index it. The more content you put on the device, the longer it is going to take to do this, and it could run to hours. It is SLOW.
I’ve never attempted to load that much at one time, or even more than a few hundred over time, but I’ve seen people here recommending downloading or side-loading in batches and giving it time to index before loading the next batch. I don’t know that you need to baby-sit it to that extent, or if it is just a way of measuring overall progress so that you have a better idea of when you can expect it to be finished, or if it will overwhelm Kindle’s tiny brain and cause trouble to load too much at one time.
Syncing large collections is a separate issue, as it initially needs to populate the local database from scratch (whether or not any content is downloaded). After that, updating the collection takes more time the larger it gets (the better part of a minute for a 1000-item collection).
