The New Kindle Fire 10 Plus 2021
Has anyone installed Logos Mobile 9 on the new Fire 10 Plus 2021?
What would happen if you just "select all" install a complete library of about 1,000 books?

A long download. How long would depend on the speed and reliability of your connection to the internet.

I have Logos 9 installed on my Fire 10 2019, and my current installed library is 470, but each has been installed one at a time over the last year. Generally I have installed every Encyclopedia from my library, as well as every English Bible and many church documents and standard theological works, as well as a fair amount of Classics of Western Spirituality and various Patristics sets, and a few ancient language things, and so a lot of them do have more tagging than typical Logos resources.
I have not run into any lag problems in using it on my system with about half the resources you are saying on my somewhat lesser system, but in general the time needed by computers goes up significantly faster than linearly based on the number of resources involved, so doubling the number of resources would probably more than double any lag. I suspect you would be fine, but you really can't tell until you try.

Almost 800 books installed fine at the library, but it took awhile. I had to move to a better spot with a better signal to finish up.
I am home now, and any searching of the library freezes and produces an error, but I can search in each individual book that is open. This might be because I am offline. I am going to have to play around with this on wifi, on the cellular hotspot, and offline to compare.
At home, I have very limited hotspot data. I have unlimited data on my phone and also on a cheaper tablet that I use exclusively for streaming and browsing. The new Kindle is such a better machine than the promotion tablet provided through my carrier. They think they will entice me to upgrade my device and my plan. Nope. I am just going to figure out how to work with what I can afford.
With everything downloaded, maybe connecting online with the cellular hotspot will only sip a small amount of data to search?
I own the Britannica/Compton Encyclopedias and Great Books set and some other academic resources that I use to write secular as well as sacred papers. Because of the pandemic, I am still out of college and I really want to use this year to work on my academic paper writing skills.
Money is tight and I know I am going to have to keep moving. Heavy hardcover books are just not practical unless they are used and cheap and can be left behind.
Amazon offered me a flash sale on the tablet even before the sale and better than the sale price. If I can have my Logos library and have a year of MS office, and a great keyboard to type, this was so worth what I paid. I also got the suggested 256 GB sd card for 1/2 price. Books saved to the card will have more lag, I am assuming, but I have enough room for my entire Logos, Tecarta, and Kindle libraries.
BetterWorldBooks had their 20% off sale to compete with Prime. I got the 16th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style for $6.25. The 16th is outdated, but all my add-on books are outdated and reference the 16th, including my new Christian Writer's Manual of Style. I can update later, but master what I have for now. At least it will all be consistent.

I had to move to an area of the library that I would have preferred not to be in. It took hours, but it would have been much faster if I had started off where I finished.

Offline, searching the library is not working at all, but I can search inside an open resource. I am not sure how much of the problem is that I am offline, now. I have some experimenting to do. I have a 2019, and this Plus 2021 is big step up for me with twice the RAM, a dedicated keyboard, and Office now that I don't have it through the college anymore. I sweated this purchase, but now with my hands on it, this was so worth it, to me, in the situation that I am in, right now. I guess the non-upgrade in software isn't what some people were hoping, but the tweaked Android 9 seems sufficient for my needs. So far.

Offline, searching the library is not working at all
I normally use the desktop app on a laptop, and was frankly shocked at how the mobile app is so much more than the simple reader it once was. That said, it is as a relatively simple reader that I usually USE the mobile app. And I have noticed that if I want to use it for much more than that, it does require being online. My understanding is that the mobile app does not do its own indexing, so any library search will require access to the Faithlife servers...

Even if all I can do is read the Syntopicons and click on the links to the individual Great Books volumes, that is something. I want to explore what is possible, and I will be grateful for whatever I can do. I don't write the papers I want to write, on either secular or sacred topics, without access to my Great Books library. And I also rely upon my Leland Ryken literary resources and the IVP dictionaries to supplement the Great Books. Logos is so much more than Bible study software.
Hmmm. It would be awkward to search the web app on my cellular tablet, and then take notes to go back to the books stored in the mobile app my Kindle Fire, but that might be my best option.
