Amazon also sends you an email when you are out of memory and have pending documents to download assuming that Whispernet is on.

I removed all the books after 4 or 5 days because the Kindle was still indexing and it was very sluggish. Also battery life was measured in hours.

Now, I have around 100 books and documents and all is fine.
Oh come on, what's the point in loading up thousands of books? Even for testing... It's not a working condition.
