Okeydoke... So just as an experiment, before I tried anything else, I decided to once again try sideloading 3 of the azw's that hadn't shown up (as per problem outlined in original post).

My reason for doing so was to see if it was simply taking a long time to index the books... When I tried it originally, I checked for the books after 15 min but they weren't there. And doing a search for a random string of characters never returned a message that the books were still being indexed.

So loaded the 3 azw's yesterday.
Checked every 30 min for 4 hours. Nothing visible.
Checked today - some 12 hrs later - and THEY ARE THERE.
Wifi was definitely off the entire time.

So riddle me this... could this be an indexing issue?
And how is it possible that 3 azw's could take MORE THAN 4 HOURS to index??

They aren't huge books (paperback versions are ~200 pages), no images, azw files are between 330 kb & 500 kb in size.

I know in the past when I've loaded on 100 books that the indexing can take hours. But three books?

And the weird thing is, I did do a garbled search several times during that 4 hours, and never got a message saying that indexing was still going.
