This is a viable alternative, but all such "work arounds" involve trade-offs. Amazon could implement options without trade-offs, but they have had several years to do so without any significant updates. In addition to search within titles, another option that Amazon should offer is search within a collection, which would allow for searching within a subset of all ebooks. That way you could keep all your ebooks on the device and still perhaps have fast enough searches (search speed might be effected by the number of index files, as well as the number actually searched, though).
