I don't want to repeat another Thread, but it seems that when you remove the unit from a USB or put a Flash Card in the software shows the busy sign while it checks if any books have been added that its does not know about. The more books to check the worse the time gets.
Here is a summary of my tests repeated with lots of variation over three days:
600 ePub's on SD Card take:
- 12 mins to re-index
- 3 mins to start if indexes are correct
With 1000 lrf books and 600 ePub's onto the SD Card = 1600 books
- 61 mins to re-index
- 33 mins to start if indexes are correct
With 2000 lrf books and 2000 ePub's
- I stopped reindexing after a day - Totally nuts
I have tried five methods of re-indexing.
1. Deleting everything except the books from SD Card and Sony Memory and letting the unit itself reindex.
2. Using Sony eBook Library to copy them on
3. Synconisaing using Sony eBook Library
4. Using Calibra
5. Manually editing the cache files.
I have found the Sony eBook Library appears some how to create "incorrect" indexes. and if I use them I get the worst time every time I USB the device.
End of summary
As for "False" - if their marketing say 13,000 books and it would take several days to use the reader every time you attach the USB and detach it again. Thats got to be a complaint. The problem is the "
automatic re-index detection" if there was some way of saying "Don't even try to reindex" then all would be hunky dory. You could almost call this automatic process a Bug ... How could they have ever tested it?
