Oh wow I hadn't seen that so many people had answered. I expected to find this thread on page 10.
I've taken up this issue to the amazon customer service chat, where a delightful fellow with an unpronouncable name explained the whole indexing business to me. I didn't even know about indexing. Eh.
So to test this, I've deleted every book on my Kindle except for the one I was currently reading, and I haven't had that problem yet - so I guess book indexing was indeed to blame.
Which kinda makes sense since the worst lag happened right after I re-imported 300+ books (most of which got duplicated because of title formatting changes) due to a mis-click in Calibre. DERP.
I do however also happen to have a HUMONGOUS clippings file, and I was wondering how to flush it, just in case (pretty much all my notes are proofreading-related, therefore disposable). So thanks a lot to tomsem for that extra bit of very useful trivia.
I would also love to disable indexing, since I never ever ever use search, but my quick research on this revealed that you have to go through jailbreaking, telnet-ing into your Kindle and such terribly complicated things.
EDIT: how do you know that indexing is taking place btw? Is there some kind of icon somewhere that indicates the indexing process explicitely?
