So if you do go this route, be sure to simply keep the thing plugged in while the indexing is going on or it will quickly zap your battery.
To find out when or whether indexing has been completed, type a nonsense string (e.g. dheywrsoithewrw) at the Home screen and press Enter, then wait for quite some time. If indexing is still underway the result will be a screen telling you how many books are still left to index.

Sorry, no record. Three days is actually the amount of time Amazon says to leave it plugged in.
Interesting way to find out if it is done. I always just did a search and the last listing would tell me the titles left.
So far, with 1700 titles, the only problem I have encountered is very slow searching, which of course I do a lot now with 1700 titles. Shame that they can't allow a search function that just looks through titles rather than every word in every book.
