For people loading a large existing library onto a new device e.g. after a device upgrade, is there any way to backup and restore a good index from the old device to bypass all those processing hours.
I assume it is a database file or files so the most likely hassle is working around write protections for system areas of the device.
Anything that take many many hours to complete is surely a good candidate for back up and restore. I am surprised Amazon do not already do it. They do auto backup my fire tablets so setting up a new one is very quick. I have never really thought about it for paperwhites as I am in the "only keep a handful of books on device" camp.
