Thanks for the interesting replies. This is an update to my original post. There was a 10k word document on the Kindle that was not indexed after more than two days. Newer documnets got indexed. It looked like the Kindle had skipped this doc and would never index it unless I deleted it and downloaded it again.

But lo and behold it finally did index it. It indexed it while the Kindle was charging via USB. When I plugged it it into the PC, the Kindle had about a third to a quarter of its charge remaining.

So now I'm wondering: Does the Kindle behave differently when it is running on an external power source? Does it prioritize activities based on the power requirements of a job and delay jobs it deems would consume too much of its remaining battery power?
