In-book search works perfectly.

I have roughly 3500 books on my kindle. But since they're not using even half the space available, I don't think that should be too many.

True, but it seems like every time I let my kindle update, something changes that I don't want changed - I've hated all the UI updates, for example. I'll try it if I have to, but it's going to be my last option.

Buying a new kindle isn't an option right now, alas.
Thanks for clarifying. 3500 books is a lot. There's your trouble.

Just because you can store 3500 books does not mean everything will work perfectly if you do that. It's there for bulky things like audiobooks and comics/manga, and because storage is cheap and they have to match specs of competing devices (which also do audiobooks and need storage for that).

Full content search is something most e-readers do not do (if any). Even Kindle app does not do it. But it has been a feature since the first (or at least second) Kindle, where storage was more restrictive. But probably unlikely Amazon will decide it is something to fix, if that's even feasible.

I'm not sure a new Kindle would solve it either.
