The indexing can be a bit of a drain on the battery, but shouldn't be too bad if you don't load hundreds of books at once.
You really don't want to load hundreds of eBooks on a Kindle in one go. If just one will not index, you then have to figure out which one. That's why you should only load in small batches that you can keep track of in case of an indexing issue.
