I'm using a relatively new Kindle Paperwhite, running firmware 5.11.2. I've got a ton of fanfiction that is sideloaded using Calibre and I'ved been getting an intermittent error message of "Folder is almost full. One of the subfolders under Documents folder has exceeded 2000 items. To continue adding more items to your device, we recommend creating a new subfolder under downloads".

So far, the message clears when I click close and I haven't noticed any lag or issues with the performance, but I'm a little nervous that when I do notice, it'll be because it chokes and dies. I know which folder is too big ("Unknown" under documents because when I download from AO3 the author metadata doesn't come over) but when I tried to split that folder up, everything not in the original folder disappeared off the kindle.

Anyone have any suggestions? I called Amazon, and they basically told me that people only use Calibre to pirate books and that that's the problem.
