You can check indexing status by searching for '.' and tap on Text in Books search result. If it is enabled, it's indexing and you can see how many items are left to index.
Keeping thousands of books on device is possible, but every update will trigger reindexing and make it unusable until it is done, it can take hours.
The storage is better used for audiobooks and maybe B&W manga/comics, and not to see how many books you can carry around (you can only read one at a time!). IMO of course.

I wanted to load a lot of books because I travel a lot to places with poor or no Internet connectivity and read multiple books at a time and want to be able to have a broad selection available.
Amazon Support was not helpful - I told them exactly what I was doing and after 90 minutes and being passed to five different support people, they said return it for a replacement.
