Judging by my own experience and the many many comments about indexing on this forum over the months, would it not make more sense to have indexing as a selectable option for individual books?

How often does the average user need to search his or her books? I have over a thousand books on my K3 now and have never had the need to search, and though it would be fun to think I'm unique I suspect the reality is more mundane...

Indexing is a nuisance, chews up battery power, knocks your Kindle out of action for hours if you have to leave it on charge while it's indexing, seems to need free storage space if it is not to grind to a halt, and occasionally gets stuck as it did for me yesterday after I put about a hundred new items on the device.

Is there an argument for the next firmware to make it optional on a book-by-book basis for those (few?) who really need it?
