It did a couple of spontaneous restarts again, so I did a manual reboot, and now ALL 1,200 books are again "indexing!" Should that happen with a reboot? Or is this 1-1/2 month old Kindle ready for a replacement? (Sure hate to do that, since it means reloading lots of books, and making another 30 "collections," which is time consuming...)

Before this, my only problem was the Kindle "freezing" after doing a "highlight." After 2 or 3 highlights, the screen would freeze for about 5 min, then back to normal.

Never had any problems with my K2 or K1......
I feel your pain :-) Sounds like the same problem I was having before my first replacement. Just
a tip make sure you back up your Kindle document folder on a computer since
this was how Amazon helped me to get all my books back ,including non Amazon
books( if you need it replaced).Once Amazon downloaded my Collection folders
they were all empty until I registered and reregisted my Kindle then all books and collections were back to normal. I have not upgraded to 3.03 yet on my new replacement since felt it might have caused my problems. I have had no more reindexing since tried to make sure my 3G or wifi is off before doing it,I make sure nothing is downloading and I,m more patient when it stalls for 30 to 45 sec when highlighting to let it finish what it is doing behind the scenes.
