It’s a lot better to load batches of around 100 books at a time and wait for each batch to finish indexing before loading the next batch. Another reason to do this is...
I was adding books 10 at a time this afternoon and having to wait about 20 minutes between batches for the indexing to finish. These were all azw3, with embedded fonts but otherwise unremarkable. (300-page thrillers for example.) I only have 300 books on the Kindle so it's not that there's a massive index already. So, I'd say "ymmv" on this point.
