It will be slow in processing until it is done indexing. When reading is it also sluggish when turning pages? That wouldn't be a good experience.
It's been a while since my K3 days, so I forgotten about the indexing process. Turning pages definitely isn't as smooth as it is on my Kobos, there's a slight flashing with every page turn.

How many books did you put on it?
If more than 100, it will take a while.
it's about 1100-1200 books!

It may be that the indexing will cause it to run out of storage space.

You will be a long while and like the mouse said, you may run out of storage.

Yes the device will handle that many but it has to process all of them.

Expect several hours.

Little advice. Next time do batches of 50.

I don't know if it'll help, but you might want to experiment with the page refresh setting. From Chapter 4 of the Kindle User's Guide (PDF):

Quote:
On occasion, your screen may seem to flash. This is part of the process of refreshing the ereader page display. By default, your Kindle features fast, smooth page turns, minimizing the number of flashes. To refresh the page with every page turn, tap the Quick Actions icon on the toolbar, then tap All Settings. On the Settings page, tap Reading Options and use the Page Refresh setting to set your preference. For manga refresh settings, tap the Menu icon when reading a manga book, then tap the Page Refresh On/Off setting.

It's been several days now, so indexing should be completed. According to the device info I didn't run out of storage space.

I seem to recall from from my K3 days that there was a way to check the indexing process status. Is that still available on the newer Kindles?

It does not have to be 'random': a single period suffices.

But your choice of a single period is random.

The sole purpose of the "random" string is to prevent it from returning any actual search results. You can of course use any search string you wish - the "random" stuff simply prevents you from having to skip over genuine search results to see the information of interest (whether or not any books are unindexed).

I used to think the same thing about textbooks being ineffective on electronic devices. Until the iPad Pro 12.9 and a stylus. I saw the DPTS1 and oh boy is it slow. The reason why the iPad is sooo effective is because it is absolutely fast. Like 0 lag time. I can flip through 2 to 4 books in seconds, highlight, type or write notes just like the Sony DPTS1 but about 10 times faster, even more in some cases. Also my iPad with 128 gb cost $940, probably cheaper today. The Sony $600. I will say thay 12 oz vs 24 oz is a big difference but my iPad does a boatload more.

The new basic kindle really missed the boat with not supporting audible. I noticed that my overdrive library has waaay more audible books that ebooks. Hopefully amazon will add audible in the future.

It is even better as you can have different books open on the same device and flip between them with no less hassle than to flip between tabs in same book.

Currently? Hardware and software is lacking at least when you require electronic paper. Already doable with two large tablets right now. Sony's DPTS1 is one step closer - and it may likely be a competitor that will get it right.

They didn't "miss the boat" at all. They'll happily sell you a Fire for audiobooks. For many years it's been the Fire range that provides audio support.
