The Kindle has a built in text search database that it adds the content of each title to when you add it to your Kindle. This process can chew up your battery but doesn't interfere with reading the title. Most people only notice the indexer when they buy a new book and then immediately try to search it and discover they can't find anything in it. Then they try a couple hours later and voila it mysteriously works.
By the way, you only have to wait for your Sony to format books if you don't transfer them with the Sony tool. Sony's tool pre-formats the titles for you using your PC's horsepower
