That was a real bummer (on my Kindles it's almost instantaneous to search for something inside the book and it doesn't matter how long the book is). True, there are very few books as hefty as the WoT omnibus, but still.

I tried to find the Don Quixote omnibus , on project Gutenberg, but they split it into volumes so , I did the next best thing : I downloaded War and Peace. War and peace is about 3,5000 pages and searching in it for the word or term 'thief' only took about 1 to 2 seconds more than in a 370 page book.
I don't find the search function slow really just somewhat slower than the Kindle in my use cases.
