I tried to find out what the indexing problem is. I started with an empty reader.
I copied EPUBs to a folder of their own (I use ".books", but I also had named it "books" at one time without a difference), the indexer seems to have no problems at all. I did this via "Save to Disk" in Calibre. (don't know whether that is relevant).
Next step was to copy all AZW3 to the reader using "Send to Device". This updates the metadata and I have no idea yet, what it actually does.
After a short while of indexing the reader is happy. KUAL is findable.
Now the interesting bit: I copy a few books as EPUB via "Send to Device". This places them directly adjacent to their AZW3 counterpart. Metadata gets updated.
And the KUAL icon is gone.
At the same time multiple crash files are created (KPPMainAppV2 and cvm).
Removing the books with EPUB format (both EPUB and AZW3 version) and only recopying the AZW3 versions with Calibre leads back to the stable state, and the KUAL icon is back again.
Next test: Copying EPUBs by hand into the documents/ directory. No crash, no error, but KUAL icon is gone.
Deleting the EPUB doesn't bring the KUAL icon back.
Recopying without first deleting doesn't bring KUAL back.
Deleting all the books with EPUB versions and then re-copying them as AZW3 doesn't brings the KUAL icon back.
Deleting all books brings the KUAL icon back.
My conclusion: The Kindle really doesn't like EPUBs and it is best to keep them in separate directories.
