But now a couple of days on, if I type '.' at the Home screen as recommended so usefully elsewhere here, the 'items still to be indexed' seems stuck at 7. What happens now?
Here's some info about what to do if your indexing gets "stuck" -
Quote:
...if a book or books are still indexing it will display “X items indexing”, select that and it will display which book, or books, are still being indexed. Wait until all books are indexed before leaving your Kindle off charge. If you have a book that is stuck indexing (my 60 books took about a day to index all of them) then go back to the home page, select the “stuck” book, delete it and then re-download it.
It is from this article about the Kindle 3 and battery use/drain: http://ozaz.org/2010/09/30/kindle-3-tips-battery/
