I read a thread on the Amazon forum that posted a CS letter about deleting all the index files from the root directory then reeindexing. While considering that I saw the news about the availability of the beta software fix. I tried the beta fix and immediately noticed that I could delete the book that was not indexing and that page turns seemed faster.
While kindle is indexing a book, you can't delete it. Since the guide is probably larger than most books, it takes longer to index. And if it is indexing, page turns will be slower.
