MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Why is Kindle 3 REINDEXING books that were already indexed?

That's what I was afraid of. Since getting my new K3, I've been downloading from my Amazon Archives, all the books that I had loaded on my K2, generally in lots of 20-50, and never more than 100, in one night. But now, everything has been slower, accessing books, doing searches, etc., and the freezes with highlighting are lasting 5-10 minutes, rather than 2-3 minutes as it had previously.

It finally finished indexing today, and I'll leave it plugged in overnight, and see what happens.

I'm interested to see whether another hard reboot makes the entire indexing of all books happen again.

Another thing I've noticed is that rather than finish a charging session in several minutes, the yellow light may stay on for a few hours, which is relatively new. All-in-all, it sounds like it may be defective - I'll call Kindle CS on Monday, and see if they have any ideas short of replacement (It's a major PITA to reload all these books ... AGAIN!)

Thanks for the help, desertblues - I'll post back when a solution is found!
