Yellow index line

I'm already using this strategy to index my eBooks. As you said large eBooks don't seem to get indexed if you keep the device in "read mode".
I never noticed a yellow line however. They are just listed under "not yet indexed content".
On the HDX 2013, when indexing large eBooks, do a search and the yellow line will appear at the top of the screen if it is not yet indexed. I don't remember this happening on the PW 2012 or the PW 2013.

I just realized, I made a mistake. You were discussing the PW 2013 and I had kept remembering my experience on the HDX 2013.

Sorry, I missed the proper referenced device. Owning four Kindle devices sometimes confuses my experiences from device to device. Each has its own unique attributes.

I had this problem with "The Bible Encyclopedia." It took about 50 search attempts to make the yellow line disappear. Even then, it had indexed every word instead of the proper words. That one did index properly on the PW 2013 with only the key words being indexed since it recognized it as a Dictionary.

The HDX 2013 did not recognize it as a Dictionary.

I think your best bet on "Game of Thrones" is to buy each of the four eBooks separately. Its possible that combining four eBooks into one large unit is confusing the indexing function on your PW 2013. I'm not sure how that would work out on the HDX 2013.

Is it possible to split that combined eBook into its four components with Calibre? Calibre experts will have to answer that question.
