[QUOTE=TallMomof2;396295]gv3 - When I loaded a lot of books, it took the Kindle days and days to index them all and battery life was atrocious. Had you just loaded the Kindle with a number of books?

Hmm, interesting, I had not loaded anything new before the trip other than
my daily newspaper and weekly magazine (NYT and New Yorker). The only
books I had purchase, or papers I had sent to my Kindle (I send CS papers
to it to read) were at least a day or two before, most of them longer
before that. It's an interesting point though, about the indexing. I should
do a more formal test of this but I use the thing too much to spend time
on doing that.

Thanks
