are you sure that is how it works? According to the amazon tech guy on the phone, the kindle does NOT store an index similar to spotlight or google desktop for later searching later. He says the search starts fresh each time.

He also said that the storage space is all RAM (solid state) which doesn't make sense to me.

Please post a link explaining the technical details on how the kindle2 searches a book.
