But you may find if this is the case, that it will even up after the next charge. You can check whether your Kindle is still busy indexing by typing '.' at the Home screen and hitting Enter (the main five-way button).
Also bear in mind that most batteries do not reach their optimum until three full charges -- after which it's slowly downhill all the way.....

Hi guys,
What good does this indexing process do to the Kindle? Should I stop it? If so, what do I have to do to stop it? I've just transferred about 500 books on my kindle and it does seem to be eating up my battery...
Many thanks!
